The other night I had the opportunity to work with a group of recently married couples. All the couples were married between four months and two years. I could see and feel their desire to be successful in their marriages. We talked about expectations and adjustments and did several exercises. They shared how being open and honest while talking about their successes and challenges, in their still very short marriages, had served them well.
While we all know some couples who believe the myth that once they get married the marriage will take care of itself, it's still amazing to me that so many young couples will do almost whatever it takes to have a successful, lifelong marriage. All we have to do in our churches and parishes is provide them the opportunity to do so.
