Family Life and Parenting

Family Dynamics

Since everyone comes from a family, marriage brings together not only husband and wife, but also brothers, sisters, in-laws, and extended family members. These new relationships can bring joy and a rich sense of belonging to a couple, but they can also be challenging to navigate at times. In addition, it’s important for spouses to recognize how their family of origin affects their assumptions, behaviors, and values, in order to best relate to one’s spouse who may have had a very different upbringing.

Daily Marriage Tip

Jesus said to his disciples, ‘But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth'” (Jn 16:13). In married life, the couple is called to reflect the love of the Trinity in a very unique way. Pray with your spouse today that you might live out that love more fully.
