We did it a few months ago and the couple we met with was amazing. I think we were there for an hour and they gave us a copy of the questions and they had a copy of our answers, and we discussed the ones they found most interesting or anything we disagreed on, or didn't answer. We honestly enjoyed it! Good luck.
Thanks!
We completed the FOCCUS just a few weeks ago. I think every parish does it a little differently, but we did the actual test one night (150ish questions, took about 30-45 minutes) and then the following week we met privately with the lead couple to go over it. For each question you had to mark Agree, Disagree, or Unsure. When we went over it the questions were grouped into different categories like family/friend relationships, financial responsibility, etc. We went over any question we didn't have the same answer to and any question that stood out as a potential issue even if we agreed. For example, 'We fight constantly about the same things.' If we both agreed that is true, then we obviously went over it since it's not good to fight about the same thing lol. It really wasn't so bad and the goal is just to see if there is anything that you need to consider talking about before you get married!
I didn't have to do this. And if I did the deacon never mentioned it.
Good luck today!!
So we went last night and it took like 40 minutes. Took the test & left. They said they will call us within 1-2 months to go over the results. That should be interesting! haha
