“Marriage means the invasion of our privacy, the giving up of our pretenses. But the sense of belonging to one another brings rich and satisfying compensations.” (David & Vera Mace, founders of ACME) Think of one way that you’ve changed this past year. Has this enriched or stressed your marriage?

It is the very times that we feel most stressed and pressed for time that we can short change our spouse. After all, he or she will understand. Today, take a moment when you next see your spouse to pause and offer a warm, knowing glance. No words need be spoken. Takes maybe 5 seconds. You can spare the change.

Today we invite you to join us for a special marriage enrichment opportunity, a three-session workshop to enhance your relational skills with each other, with married couples in your family, and for other married couples in your parish community, so that your marriage can be a source of healing and strength for others.
