Sažetak
The paper presents the results of research conducted by surveying 245 engaged persons who attended a pre-marriage course as an integral part of the preparation for the conclusion of the sacrament of marriage within the Catholic Church. The aim of the research was to examine how engaged persons assess various dimensions of the quality of their romantic partnership (relationship satisfaction, frequency of conflict with their partner, styles and effectiveness of conflict resolution) and how motivated they are to engage in additional activities aimed at strengthening the quality of the romantic partnership (additional training and workshops, conversations with experts and priests). The results show some gender differences in the assessment and a correlation between assessing the importance of faith in personal life and the motivation to engage in additional activities. In conclusion, some practical guidelines for further development of premarital pastoral care are offered.
