A healthy marriage does not happen by accident.  Couples who grow in love throughout their life in marriage, will tell you that a successful marriage is comprised of many elements:  Unconditional love, forgiveness, patience, and commitment are just some of the core values that are found in happy and life long marriages.

If you are interested in reading more on ways to enhance your marriage, we would recommend any of the following books:

A Lasting Promise -  A Christian Guide to Fighting for Your Marriage by Scott Stanely, Daniel Trathen, Savanna McCain & Milt Bryan:  Jossey-Bass Publishers, San Francisco CA,

Fighting for Your Marriage  by Howard J. Markman, Scott M. Stanley, & Susan Blumberg:   Jossey-Bass Publishers, San Francisco CA,  2001

Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives by Dr. James C. Dobson:  Word Books, Waco Texas  1984

Loving Each Other -  The Challenge of Human Relationships by Leo Buscaglia: Slack Inc. 1984

In addition to some of the above reading, keep an eye on the Special Events section of our Adult & Family Ministries Web Page for programs being offered in our parish or in the dioceses of Ft. Worth or Dallas.
