Marriage - The Living Sacrament

For those experiencing difficulty in marriage, divorce, annulment, or remarriage

In spite of all the efforts of couples, families and the church, some marriages do not turn out well. Temporary or permanent separation becomes necessary when there has been a complete breakdown of loving relationship between husband and wife, often with great hardship to both the couple themselves and their children. These setbacks are a source of suffering for people today and especially for those who see their good intention and hope of married love fade away.   We hope you will find these links valuable, and that our support as members of the family of God will help to sustain you.
