The contemporary teaching of the Church views the pre-baptismal catechumenate as a model of sacramental catechesis. It also extends this form of formation to marriage preparation. This seems to be particularly justified by the fact that this sacrament is increasingly requested by people who are completely or partially uninitiated in Christianity. One can therefore find principles and recommendations regarding the application of catechumenate principles to marriage preparation. This will therefore mean the need for an integral approach to formation, as well as planning its phases. In formation for the sacrament of marriage, it is therefore necessary to take into account the community and liturgical dimensions. It is also necessary to incorporate mystagogy after receiving the sacrament, related to the development of the marital and family relationship and to the envolving life and challenges specific to different stages of family life
