This is one of my all-time favorites:
I love the reminder that what we do in our everyday lives can truly be extraordinary. God can work miracles in the sacrament of marriage, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have to work at it.
Good marriages take intention and hard work.
When we see an older couple holding hands or celebrating 50+ years of marriage, it can be tempting to think how cute they are or that life is simple for them. But I like to reflect on just how hard that couple has had to work to get where they are. How many times they have needed to forgive each other and how many battles they have fought together.
We need to be intentional about nurturing our marriages.
That’s why I’m excited to offer you a 5-day marriage challenge, October 21-25.
Each day of the challenge includes:
Reflection: daily essay that makes you think
Discussion: Connect with Catholic wives just like you
Prompts for action: Simple, practical things you can do right away
Guided prayer: 5-minute audio-guided meditation
Scripture: God’s word will challenge and encourage you in marriage
Journaling questions: For going deeper on your own
The week also includes a live Q&A with marriage expert Dr. Sarah Bartel, who will discuss marital intimacy from a Catholic perspective. You will not want to miss this!
