"To set out on the path of the
married vocation means to learn married love day
by day, year by year: love according to soul and
body, love that is patient, is kind, love does
not insist on its own way... and does not
rejoice at wrong; love that rejoices in the
right, love that endures all things."
--John Paul II

serious difficulty or trouble and in
jeopardy of ending (due to past or present
addiction, adultery, or other grave issues), and
who want to make it work.
The program
offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your
spouse, and a loving relationship in your
marriage. It has a proven track record of successfully saving
marriages. It is a Catholic-based program open
to people of all faiths.
