“Today I’m going to marry my best friend!” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen that announcement or something similar to it (“today my best friend asked me to marry him,” etc…) on Facebook. That’s why I was so intrigued to read this article from Marjorie Campbell on why she’s glad her husband [...]

Conservative pundit/comedian Steven Crowder gave a great presentation at the Values Voter Summit last weekend. At around the 5 min mark Crowder, a newlywed, starts to get serious about our culture’s attitude towards the sanctity of the marriage and the marital act. However you may feel about his delivery style, he made excellent points about [...]

I mean that men think that marriage magically happens. That one day Mrs. Right will come along their path and they will magically know [...]

Today is the feast of St. John Chrysostom. I quite like this advice he gives to the men-folk: young husbands should say to their wives: “I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life itself. For the present life is nothing, and my most ardent dream [...]

Here’s another excellent video from Fr. Robert Barron on how a relationship will only endure when two people fall in love, not so much with each other, but together with a “transcendent third.” Relating that to Christian marriage he says To get married in the Church, that is to say, before God, what you’re saying [...]
