Rediscovering Married Passion and Joy

I read a beautiful testament to Catholic marriage last night and wish to share it here. It's from author and OSV writer and editor Mary de Turris Poust.

She begins: "This morning I got up and hung a little sign on the window over my kitchen sink. It says: “Make a decision to love.” I taped one to the bathroom mirror and over my desk as well. What’s with the cryptic notes? They’re part of my re-entry into the real world after experiencing an eye-opening and life-changing Marriage Encounter (ME) weekend with Dennis.

This was our first ME experience, after years of hemming and hawing about whether we should go. I’d often suggest it, but we would always come up with a laundry list of excuses as to why it wasn’t possible. Mainly, how could we go away for an entire weekend when we couldn’t find a sitter for two hours on a Friday night?

And so we continued on our not-so-merry married way. We were still deeply in love, but it was a little less obvious with each passing crisis and every added responsibility. Our sacramental covenant was starting to look a lot more like a business partnership. What happened to the outward signs of love that used to make our inner commitment so apparent? If we continued to pile on things that pulled us apart, would our relationship eventually crack under pressure? We weren’t about to find out... (Continued on her blog: Not Strictly Spiritual)

Moms under pressure and transformation with prayer...

Some time ago, I discussed sith my friend Teresa Tomeo, some of the pressures that are heaped upon Moms these days and also some prayer strategies on our Mom's Corner segment on "Catholic Connection" (Ave Maria Radio and aired through EWTN). In case you didn't catch the segment, You can listen right here today or any time that you have a few minutes.

What are your strategies? How do you fit prayer into your lives? What do you do to combat the pressures of the culture aimed at women? Please share your ideas and strategies for prayer with all of us. I will look forward to hearing from you!

May God bless your day!

hugs,
