In the summer of 2018 , The Catholic Courier, our local Catholic Newspaper asks us to consider writing a 300 word monthly marriage blog. Our first reaction was "Who? Us? We are the most imperfect married couple you are going to find!" We have our ups and downs like every married couple but somehow by the grace of God and a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend 32 years ago we managed to stay happily married for 34 years. They said they wanted real stories to inspire hope. So after much dialogue & prayer we said yes. We don't teach. We just tell our stories & hope it helps married couples remember and see the beauty in their own marriages.
