text: I am a Catholic and never filled out a prenuptial enquiry.  Never heard of it.  I have heard of pre-Cana counseling.  The Church extends the sacrament to those it believes are qualified to receive it, which often just means baptized, has received first communion and confirmation.  It is not a certification of validity.   It is not about "people make mistakes".  Christ has the healing for that covered for those who come to Him in faith.   It is about knowing He could heal things and not wanting to do the dying to self or suffering that may be involved and wanting one's own will and trying to get public opinion on one's side.  We weren't created for our spousal contentment.  We were created to know, love and serve God.  The priorities are askew.  That is the crux of the issue.  People want to put man before God.  He says no.
