Does anyone know what happens in a marriage preparation class at a Catholic church?

Does anyone know what happens in the sessions of marriage preparation?   We were married in a Catholic church, we have two training sessions with the priest of the church.   Therefore, I want to know what to expect from the sessions. And what kind of questions they can ask the priest.   Did you ask personal questions? Related posts:
