- Habits for a Happy Marriage – Richard Fitzgibbons, M.D.
In my 34 years of working with Catholic couples, I have observed seven major conflicts that create severe marital stress. The good news is that these weaknesses can be overcome. - Marriage: A Way to Heaven – Deacon Douglas McManaman
Today is Marriage Sunday and the Archbishop has asked us to preach on marriage, and our pastor in turn has asked me to address this topic, probably because I am married. - Why Marriage Is Good for You – Maggie Gallagher
Recently, I had the opportunity to review the scientific evidence on the consequences of marriage for adults. What I found surprised me. Quietly, with little fanfare, a broad and deep body of scientific literature has been accumulating that affirms what Genesis teaches: it is not good for man to be alone – no, nor woman neither. In virtually every way that social scientists can measure, married people do much better than the unmarried or divorced: they live longer, healthier, happier, sexier, and more affluent lives. - “Between Man and Woman”
A statement of the US Bishops concerning same sex marriage. - Five non-religious arguments for marriage over living together – Dennis Prager
There are enormous differences between being a “husband” or a “wife” and being a “partner,” a “friend” or a “significant other”. - Contraception: Why Not? – Janet Smith
Janet Smith explains why the Catholic Church keeps insisting, in the face of the opposite position held by most of the rest of the modern world, that contraception is one of the worst inventions of our time. - The Practice of Natural Family Planning – Fr. William Saunders
A question for you regarding Catholics who practice artificial birth control: What is their status in the Church? Are they committing mortal sin? I feel that this is a much misunderstood question by most Catholics, including myself. To further muddle the issue, what is the Church ‘s position when one’s spouse does not want to practice NFP?
