James and Maureen Otremba are a dynamic couple with over twenty-five years of experience preparing and teaching couples. As Catholics, the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. By recognizing the connections between your sacrament of marriage and the Most Holy Eucharist, your relationship will be transformed and your eyes opened to see the Holy Mass and your marriage in a whole new light!

— Most Reverend Bishop Oscar A. Solis, DD

“Using their gifts and personal journey, they skillfully and prayerfully tied the sacramentality of marriage to the Euchrist. Every married couple could benefit from this practical, skills-based material; no matter if you are newlyweds or married 45 plus years.”

— Deacon Tom Lang, Director, Office of the Permanent Diaconate Archdiocese of Dubuque, IA

“What the Otrembas offer in this incredible work is nothing less than a monumental paradigm shift for marriage enrichment experienced through the Divine Liturgy, every aspect of the Liturgy, and Jesus embraced in the Most Holy Eucharist. To accept their offer is to have one’s spiritual eyes open at every Mass, every marital encounter, and to be transformed into His beloved likeness..”

— Jim and Joy Pinto, Co-Hosts of EWTN’s 'At Home with Jim and Joy'
