Dear young people, don't be afraid to marry. A faithful and fruitful marriage will bring you happiness.
I'm so happy I married a fellow Catholic because I think that marriage is tough enough - that's one area that's just not something we argue about. There's no contention about it because we're both on the same page.
We will never obtain God's kind of marriage simply by going along with the crowd, doing what everybody else does. We have to dig deep into the heart of God to discover His principles.
Marriage has a unique place because it speaks of an absolute faithfulness, a covenant between radically different persons, male and female; and so it echoes the absolute covenant of God with his chosen, a covenant between radically different partners.
I don't do things which are wrong according to Jesus. Like don't make 'bad' relations with anyone except your husband.
Marriage is the real vocation crisis in the United States... We have a vocation crisis to life-long, life-giving, loving, faithful marriage. If we take care of that one, we'll have all the priests and nuns we'll need for the Church.
There are problems connected with infidelity and problems connected with being faithful at any cost, and I am for letting those concerned choose the problems they'd prefer. There need not be one rule for all. Infidelity is enlarging and fragmenting and very very dangerous, but it has been known to retrieve people as well as marriages, so it can't be only bad.
Let me be loved like that, by a man who will not replace me with concubines when I'm old and ugly. Let me be loved by a man who loves God more than me.
In a family of faith, you don't believe in divorce; you believe you can make it.
