Live Your LoveWe dedicate years of education to get ready for our jobs, but when it comes to marriage, most focus more on wedding planning than preparing for their lifetime together

“Today, there are those who say that marriage is out of fashion. Is it out of fashion?
They say that it is not worth making a life-long commitment, making a definitive decision, ‘forever’, because we do not know what tomorrow will bring. I ask you, instead, to be revolutionaries, I ask you to swim against the tide; yes, I am asking you to rebel against this culture that sees everything as temporary and that ultimately believes you are incapable of responsibility, that believes you are incapable of true love. I have confidence in you and I pray for you.” Pope Francis, July 28th, 2013 |
