I think there are many things couples aren't told when they go for marriage preparation. They aren't told what is expected of THEM when they seek to be married in the church. For instance, that when they come up against difficulties in their marriage that they must seek the grace of God through the Church (including counseling that instructs them how to navigate difficulties) and the Sacraments to persevere and preserve the marriage. Our Lord said, "What God has joined let no man put asunder." Most couples today lack the eternal vision of what God wants for their marriages, to help each other be holy and get to Heaven.
Such great advice. . . . if the parents worked on their relationship they would not have to work on raising their children. The children would have their desires fulfilled ---- parents in union. . . . . But, as Donald Trump says, "I don't want to have to WORK on my marriage. I work all day. I don't want to have to come home and work on a relationship".
because marriage is from God and a sacrament. On a natural level he sees many couples and if he is open to the Holy Spirit he will know more than any psychologist or serial married person
@@moleahy1584 I see what you are saying but a doctor goes to college for eight years to learning to recognize and treat cancer. They heal people every day based on this knowledge. True that a priest attends college and is taught about marriage counseling. However, I would rather go to a marriage counselor, priest or not, that's been married and I understands it better. It's also a commentary that priest should be married- they were the 1000 years of the Church
@Matt Blaise Sorry, people who haven't been married can't comment on it because they don't have the experience. And a percentage of priests don't practice celibacy because they raped children or had children and the Bishops covered it up
Priests are very well educated; anyone who perpetrates any sexual misconduct in the church should be excluded and held accountable, punished; I do agree though with a problematic inability to condemn such atrocious offenses more aggressively, ultimately from their authority
Your words speak to my heart. Your teaching is wonderful. Thank you Father.

stop politicizing a spiritual message
How in the World woulda priest know anything about being married??
because marriage is from God and a sacrament. On a natural level he sees many couples and if he is open to the Holy Spirit he will know more than any psychologist or serial married person
how can a doctor know anything about cancer if he's never had it?
