CHRISTIAN TIPS FOR MARRIAGE

I came across what Michele wrote in a post on Catholic mom.

I loved so many things about her podcast. They way she shares about the disillusionment we face or desert periods. This is kind of similar to what we feel with our families too. There were so many great points here, the best one I loved was about not keeping score. The tips are fantastic for married couples and those wanting to work on their marriage.

I also felt encouraged by her point that couple who braved the worst together, ended up becoming stronger in their relationships. So weather the storms and dry patches. Also, as of this year, I’ve begun to pray for marriages and families. For the last decade my prayers have been mostly for vocations, in particular, the Redemptorist mission. So, know that you are remembered and that God is raising an army of people to pray for your marriage.
