Teaching Good Communication (Part 2)

Staying faithful to your marriage vows

Married to a high-functioning alcoholic 

Divorced but your marriage is valid

Doug unpacks a case study about a “stander” from Impossible Marriages Redeemed. A “stander” is a victim of divorce who chooses to continue to live a life faithful to their wedding vows.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Jeannie - We are called to faithfulness, not happiness. (20:40)
Jennifer - Thank you for the 'standers' and for what you promote. We can always offer Masses. (21:42)
Mary - What is the Church's view on people who leave marriage from abuse? I told my mom to leave her marriage when I was 16. (23:17)
Frank - I am now 72 but I was married when I was 23. We split up when my wife had an abortion. We got an annulment. (39:53)
