The state of the marital union? In general, not so good. We all have witnessed the shattered remains of friends and family ripped apart by divorce. We'll be talking for a few podcasts about the topic, so if you're a bit disillusioned about your own marriage, or know someone who is, this series is for you. Or heck, if you're happily married, this series is for you. Who couldn't use a little tune-up now and then?
If you could use some real help with your marriage, Deacon Tim gives a couple of helpful resources: www.smartmarriage.com and www.retrouvaille.org. As Deacon Tim points out, this last one is a marketing nightmare since no one can spell or say this obscure French term, but the results are amazing. I've known deeply troubled couples who now have a vibrant marriage. Click on those links!
A small housekeeping matter.....One of the companies who beams up our podcast (or whatever the heck goes on - don't ask me - it's magic as far as I can tell) has changed the format so you can leave comments right after you listen, on that same link. Most people, though, comment here, so if you want to leave a comment (and I hope you do!), can you click back to this blog page to leave your comments? I like having everyone's comments in one place, so we can get to know each other, in a close, cyber-pals kind of way.
Peace be with you, and I'll be praying for your marriage this week!
