Abstract
This article reports on four sub-studies on pastoral accompaniment and integration processes of Catholic migrant and intercultural couples, living in the Netherlands. The first is a literature study, which shows sustainable beneficial effects of Marriage and Relationship Education (MRE) on relationship quality. A second, quantitative survey investigates the relationships between MRE and relationship quality. Thirdly, semi-structured in-depth interviews with migrantand intercultural couples have been held. Finally, by means of a SWOT-analysis, interviews and written responses with pastoral caregivers and diocesan staff members have been analysed. The article concludes with possibilities to improve intercultural pastoral care and a comparative analysis of Polish/Slovak responses to Ukrainian refugees.
