What is the FOCCUS pre-marital inventory?
FOCCUS is an aid to your marriage preparation. It consists of a number of questions that will evaluate your attitudes and beliefs about a wide range of subjects, especially those issues that are most significant to a successful marriage. Developed by psychologists and pastoral ministers, it can help a couple study, understand and communicate more openly, and to avoid conflicts. The FOCCUS test is administered by a priest, deacon, or pastoral worker. After the results are scored, the priest/deacon/pastoral worker couple can meet with the couple to help them communicate better about the issues that are important to them. Please ask your priest or deacon about taking the FOCCUS inventory. There is no fee if the results are scored by the Family Life+Respect Life Office.
