  • “In good times and in bad” (or some variant) is a vital part of the marriage vows every Catholic couple says on their wedding day.
    But sometimes those “bad times” are actually much worse than we expect. Coldness, selfishness, infidelity, and more can make many couples’ marriages go from a fairy tale to a nightmare, and healing the resulting wounds can feel impossible.
    Fortunately, there is a way to find love, tenderness, and forgiveness in your marriage. Our guests, Jackie and Wadi Barreto, work for Retrouvaille, a marriage healing organization that has rescued thousands of couples from divorce and marital strife.
    You’ll hear about their experience in helping countless couples reconcile, and learn how to strengthen your own marriage BEFORE it encounters these kinds of struggles.
    If you’ve ever gone through “bad times” in your marriage, you’ll definitely want to see this.

    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. 🙏❤

    Beautiful. Pre-Cana should teach the Retrouvaille communication techniques.

    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.

    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.

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

      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 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.
