Making a Case for Marriage: What Promotes A Happy and Lasting Marriage? 

Part of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s National Pastoral Initiative for Marriage 

We are called to enter into God’s grace through a “training in holiness” which includes prayer, the Eucharist, and Reconciliation (Novo Millennio Ineunte #30-41). Our faith proclaims that Christian marriage is a specific “training ground” for holiness and encourages couples to incorporate the findings of social science, specifically regarding the manifold practices that can increase marital joy and permanence, enabling them to enter more fully into loving communion with each other, society, and God.
