Long before governments and societies ever discussed marriage, God put on the human heart a longing for the unique lifelong commitment and total self-giving love found in the Sacrament of Matrimony. Session 2: Entering the Story of Marriage Marriage isn't just one of the world's great institutions. God actually created the world for the union of husband and wife. From the beginning of creation to the coming of Christ, God unveils his plan for married couples to share in his very divine love and to be a most profound sign of his love to the world. Session 3: Love Revealed God reveals what love is most perfectly on the Cross. Jesus Christ-the bridegroom-lays down his life in sacrifice for his bride, the Church. And our human marriages are meant to share in that sacrificial love of Christ for the Church and reflect that love in the world. Session 4: Total Gift of Self How do we really give ourselves totally to our spouse? Putting our beloved's needs before our own self-centered interests takes a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice. But the total gift of self is at the heart of the daily married life, affecting everything from how we communicate and how we respond when we are hurt, to how we approach the expression of self-giving love in sexual intercourse. Session 5: A Sacramental Bond Marriage brings something new into existence that didn't exist before: a real bond between the husband and wife. And flowing from that sacramental bond is a font of grace to help us as couples face whatever challenges may come our way and to love and serve each other far beyond what we could ever do on our own. Session 6: Real Challenges, Real Love Marriage is absolutely beautiful. But it's also messy. Conflict, difficulties communicating, unexpected turns in life, and wounds from the past are all a part of every good marriage. Will these challenges be sources of division in our relationship-or opportunities for our love to rise to a whole new level? Living Marriage Session 1: Christ at the Center Putting Jesus at the center of our lives is crucial for maintaining a strong marriage. The more we live in union with Christ, the more he helps us give the best of ourselves to our spouse and draws us closer to him through the many challenges and joys in our marriage relationship. Session 2: A Deeper Unity Like a good wine, a good marriage takes much time and effort to develop. God is already working in our relationships to form beautiful and lasting marriages, but he also needs our individual commitment to each deepen our union with our spouse. Session 3: Conflict and Communication Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but it doesn't have to be damaging or hurtful. With the art of good communication in marriage, some tensions can be avoided and even conflict situations themselves can become opportunities for growth. Session 4: Building a Thriving Marriage Strong marriages don't happen by chance. We generally get out of our relationship what we put into it. Becoming aware of our personal weaknesses, making it a priority to overcome them, and seeking God's help to do so can make all the difference between a marriage that just survives and one that truly thrives. Session 5: Protecting the Bond Marriage is a priceless gift. And one that is worth going out of our way to protect. We must always be careful to not let other things in life-a career, a hobby, social media, friendships with the opposite sex-take up our attention in a way that starts to divide our union with our spouse. Session 6: Sexuality and Authentic Love The physical union of sexual intimacy is meant to express a total gift of one's self spiritually, personally, and emotionally. Following God's plan for sexuality helps us say "yes" to authentic love-the love we are ultimately longing for.
