Now that you’ve taken a definitive step toward the Sacrament of Marriage, it’s important to delve into topics that will impact your lives together. This happens mainly in formal marriage preparation classes or meetings with your priest, but there are also great conversation starters here on this site.

Daily Marriage Tip

Reader’s tip: We’ve been married for 43 years. We have a rule: always kiss each other goodbye and goodnight, even if we are angry. One morning we had an argument and my husband left. I called him and told him to come right back and give me a kiss. He did! We both had a better day because of it.
