•°“Happiness in marriage must be earned. It is something you must work out for yourself, chiefly by forgetting yourself and serving others. No marriage is a success unless less you make it so, and that takes persistent effort and, still more, a constant and humble reliance on God.” – Fr. Lawrence G. Lovasik. The Catholic Family°•

Relationships are a choice we have to make every single day, reminding ourselves just how lucky we are to be holding someone's hand who wants us, who chooses us, who cares for us, who fights for us and who genuinely loves us. And when you find that, it's up to you to do the same thing. Never take anything for granted. This is how relationships last in a generation that throws away things and people away too easily.

The key to good relationships is staying grateful. When you have something and someone good, don't go looking for something better. Learn to appreciate what you have. Learn that the best relationships are the ones where you don't give up on each other so easily. And in moments of hardship and doubt that's exactly when you need to try even harder. Because good relationships are worth fighting for.

Why we do it

“Divorce takes all authority from the father, all dignity from the mother, all security from the child, and transforms domestic society into a struggle between strength and weakness; it constitutes the family as a temporary lease, where the inconstancy of the human heart stipulates its passions, and which ends where new passions begin.”

~Louis de Bonald

•Women today are taught that work that is paid is the only worthwhile work. It's not true. Being a wife, mother, and homemaker aren't paid positions but without them, nations collapse as we are witnessing today.
Our value doesn't come from a paycheck. It comes from God alone•

“To love someone means to see them as God intended them.”

-Fyodor Dostoevsky
