Thank you so much. I’m at that point now in my marriage. I’ve been here so many times and I’m tired. I needed inspiration to continue have hope and your words really helped. God’s will be done. Please pray for healing. Thank you Chris.
Every marriage hits that point (often more than just once!). It's worth the work to keep a marriage. I've seen too many friends not make the effort & live to regret it. I've been fed up and tired, also, but I've learned that's pretty normal for people who are spending a life together. It's not all rainbows & butterflies, but its real. 🙏❤
I remember, my mother recalling, that my grandparents lived in peace. One thing was obviously evident, that they always prayed the holy Rosary every day as a family and mass as a normal part of their lives. In short, my mother never recalls them to never fight or argue.
Beautiful. Pre-Cana should teach the Retrouvaille communication techniques. Praying for all marriages and families, in His Holy Name. Merciful Lord, hear our prayers.
Saying marriage is not a path to happiness but a path to holiness is profound but I believe incomplete. Yes, marriage is a path to holiness and holiness is the path to happiness. So marriage is a path to happiness only through the call to holiness with God at the center and active participant in our marriage.
I found Marriage BEAUTIFUL! BEEN MARRIED 35 YEARS AND THE BEAUTY OF MY WIFE,TO LOVE THE LIFE IN HER EYES! I'M WILLING TO DIE, FOR HER MORE THAN EVER! SHE'S IN A NURSING HOME, BED RIDDEN WITH M.S., BUT I LOVE HER EVEN MORE!
God bless this wonderful couple, thank you for airing it Chris. Theresa, please be assured of prayers, especially at Mass and Exposition. God bless you, all x
Here's an interesting cavort, I knew a women where her husband for 10 years of their marriage was very verbally abusive, and manipulative ( gas lighting ) they separated , got back together, separated again , got back together ( he would be good for a few months than back to his old ways again) a regular revolving door. They went through counselling ,couples and individual, spiritual counselling. She also said, marriage is for life, divorce was not option, yada, yada ,yada. for years Until she got so fed-up with him and she finally said " You know what, divorce is an option" within a minute he was almost on his knees' begging her not go through with it, "I don't know what I would do without you?" "I'll kill myself if you leave me." "I'll do what ever takes" when the shit was about hit the fan - than he had his coming to Jesus moment. But all the drama he played was just another manipulation, I think she ended up divorcing him in the end, he was either a sociopathy , narcissist?
@@sitka49 All divorce must take place on church property among the baptized. The local ordinary is the only judge competent... or anathema. But yeah I have heard that when you call the narcissist bluff on divorce, they snap to it. But because divorce puts you in hell, you need a canonical separation instead.
@@AnnulmentProof You need look at financial ramifications are they held to the same liability standards for child support , and general financial support for a separation ? And if they're cheating or cheated and if there abusive physically or physiology would you want them back?
@@AnnulmentProof The problem is the church is a patriarch, and if you’re dealing with an abusive husband who is male, and then you have to go to a male to get the annulment, and a bunch of males sit at a table and decide whether your decision was correct It certainly feels alienating as a woman.
We went through Retrouvaille about 10 yrs ago , it was ok, good program , My take on it was, I got the impression from these couples that were giving the program, it seemed to me it was a little bit of a one-up? For example: One of the couples had a terrible story about the husband backing his car down the driveway, and running over their 4 yr old son, and killing him ( which was heart wrenching). I'm not sure if they bring theses couples in to make it seem like your problems weren't as bad ? - Out the 3 couple facilitating the program everyone them had some catastrophic event happen in their marriage. The other thing it was a little too feminine, For example: You do this journaling which is fine ( But a lot of men/husbands are not going to continue doing it after the program I would almost guarantee.) and they would have these question like " If you had to describe how you feel, what color would it be?" So Yeah! Most are like that.
Being Sincere Best Friends; is the Secret! Placing Nobody, but the LORD JESUS CHRIST, Above the concerns of your Spouse is the ANSWER! JUST IMAGINE PLACING YOURSELF IN FRONT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! HAVE A CLEAR CONSCIENCE BEFORE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND BE GRANTED EVERLASTING LIFE WITH YOUR SPOUSE! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! JOHN 14:12-17. LIVE PSALM 101:3-8. AND BE RIGHT RIGHT WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE! AMEN!

What a beautiful message. I myself failed it so miserably. I am a different man now, and would have done differently, had I known.

I love your episodes on FORMED! It's great to share here, too. Thanks, Chris!
Great program I’m currently doing the post sessions now and it helps

Divorce is never needed because legal separation or alternative is always available. CCC 2384 "divorce is a grave offense."

@@sitka49 adultery is the only grounds for permanent separation. Among the baptized, the only judges of matrimonial causes are ecclesiastical.

What do you do when your spouse doesn't want to cooperate or wants to go?
