About Matt Brooks

I wasn't Catholic when I started The Marriage Group® in 2009.I was a Lutheran(ish) guy struggling with my own faith journey. Had a track record building startups into sustainable small businesses.Then my buddy got engaged. He and his fiancée drove an hour to sit through 8 hours of marriage prep in a parish basement. Called me on the way home and asked:"Do you think we could build a Catholic marriage preparation program online?"I told him to swing by my office. We white-boarded it that night.Seventeen years later, we've served over couples across every US diocese and 100+ countries.The Marriage Group is the leading online Catholic marriage preparation provider. Couples can work through our courses on their own timeline. Mentor couples can use it as a curriculum for weekly conversations. Parishes can deploy it however it makes sense for their community.And now, with our Custom Course Creation™, couples: → Forming blended families, get content about step-parenting. → Military couples get content addressing deployment. → Couples living together get content that speaks to their situation—all automatically, without them asking for it.After couples, we've got the receipts- Priest and deacon referrals (80%+ of our couples are sent by clergy)- 4.8 Google Reviews- Award-winning content (2024 Catholic Media Association - Best Video: Catechesis).Diocesan & Parish Leaders - If you're responsible for marriage preparation and ready to have a conversation about what's actually working for today's couples, let's talk. I'll ask you one question: Would you prefer one-size-fits-all "drink from the firehose" preparation, or a flexible option that feels customized for every couple—because it was?Today's the day. Let's go.
