Why this community?

Valentine's Day is nearly upon us, and more importantly than all the chocolate and roses, it actually marks the feast day of a 3rd-century bishop and martyr, Valentine. Legend has it that Valentine secretly witnessed marriages so that husbands could avoid being sent off to war. He would then give the new spouse a paper heart to remind him of his marriage vows and God's love. So Valentine's Day is very much a celebration of married love.

We thought we'd share some articles that celebrate the unique love that God intends for a married couple. Every fortnight you will receive thoughts about love and commitment, about reasons to get married, and good questions to help you make a decision,…

This community is here for couples who are dating, recently married, or those who made their marriage vows a long time ago. All of us can grow in love.

Prayer from the community

A prayer of St. Theresa of Avila

Govern everything by your wisdom, O Lord, so that my soul may always be serving you in the way you will and not as I choose. Let me die to myself so that I may serve you; let me live to you who are life itself. Amen.
