Marriage Support
"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves"
(Romans 12:10)
Help for Married Couples
Marriage is more than a milestone—it's a sacred vocation, a lifelong commitment between two people who promise to love and grow in love with one another. While beautiful and fulfilling, marriage also requires dedication, patience, and ongoing effort from both spouses. Many couples will face challenges that may seem overwhelming at times.
​
Like any vocation, marriage benefits from continuous support and formation. In a culture that often suggests love should always feel effortless and romantic, it’s easy to question the strength of a relationship when those feelings fade. But love, especially in marriage, is something that grows deeper through perseverance, communication, and grace.
​
The Family Life Office is here to walk with couples at every stage—from engagement to the golden years. We offer a variety of resources to help couples strengthen their bond and navigate the ups and downs of married life. See below for more information about parish-based marriage enrichment events, relationship skills workshops and support for couples experiencing infertility.
