  • Marriage Enrichment
    The first few years of marriage are critical to the life of a married couple. It is important to remind newly married couples that the wedding is just the beginning of a journey marked by joys and challenges. Christian couples should be reminded to draw upon the grace of the sacrament in times of need.  The Church is obliged to assist couples at all times, but they should be especially assisted during this time of transition and change. 

    Called to the Joy of Love - USCCB p. 23
    • Ongoing Marriage Enrichment

      Ongoing marriage enrichment is essential for couples to grow in virtue and to cherish the gift that they are to one another. Married life is enhanced and enriched through the years by the faithful, fruitful gift that the spouses make to one another day by day. (Called to the Joy of Love, p. 24)
