• Periods of disillusionment are normal in every marriage. Keeping them to a minimum is what makes for a successful relationship! Our decision to love will help us break out of disillusionment. Today's "Married Singles" lifestyle tempts us to put our relationship on the "back burner".

• Listening is the key to communication! When we experience what our spouse is feeling, then we know that we have listened with our heart. This is not to imply that we need to understand and agree with what they are feeling. Do not listen just to hear the words but to accept the person to whom you are listening. Make what your spouse is saying as important to you as it is to them.

• Marriage is a living sign of God's love. We did not receive a Sacrament on our wedding day, we became a Sacrament. What kind of a sign do we want to convey to others? True happiness comes when we live intimately and responsibly in our relationship. By being intimate we are open to love and to be loved. By being responsible we are living out the decision to love in our daily lives.

• Keeping your marriage alive and vibrant is a life-long commitment. You've completed your weekend, now what? Where can you turn for assistance and encouragement? Perhaps your dialogue has gone stale, what's the next step? Good news! The help and support you received during your weekend can continue through M.E. community programs available in most areas. Some programs offer opportunities to meet with other couples that too have found dialogue to be a crucial tool in keeping their marriage alive and vibrant.  Other programs are geared towards improving your dialogue skills through sharing and practice. There are also programs that offer volunteer opportunities to help keep the M.E. vision alive. Most all of these programs are free and just waiting for you to join. Contact your local M.E. Community or your parish today for programs in your area.  Give your marriage the attention it deserves... we are here to support you!
