While we do many of the same things together regularly, we like to do new things every once in awhile. It’s a great way to keep things exciting and to find shared interests! And it’s important to have activities you enjoy doing together. So this week’s #marriagemondaychallenge is to do something new together. Go on a date to somewhere you’ve never been before, take a dancing class together, play a new game, cook something new together - the possibilities are endless. Share your ideas with us! 💬 We hope to cross an item off our summer bucket list this week by baking and decorating a fancy cake together. We’ve done a little baking together but have never attempted to use fondant or make a cake with multiple layers...which is what we will try this time. Wish us luck! 😜 P.S.

“Spouses to whom God has not granted children can nevertheless have a conjugal life full of meaning, in both human and Christian terms. Their marriage can radiate a fruitfulness of charity, of hospitality, and of sacrifice.” - Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1654 🙌🏼 Those struggling with infertility, we see you. Your worth is not based on the number of children you have! God has given us all gifts to share with the world. ❤️ Our friend Mary at @takingbacktheterms wrote a beautiful post on our blog this week about bearing fruit in your marriage when you’re infertile.

Last week we talked about taking small steps towards holiness with your spouse. But what if you’re not on the same page spiritually? We’re sharing a few thoughts in this week’s video. Find the link in our profile and then click “our latest video” 🎥 Youtube.com/surprisedbymarriage

Maybe the Holy Spirit is giving you words of encouragement to share with your spouse or inspiring you to love your spouse in different ways. Or maybe God is leading you to strengthen your prayer life together or to even start a new endeavor together. Listen to those promptings! Ask the Holy Spirit to work in your marriage and ask God for the grace to listen to those promptings. 🔥🕊 #marriagemondaychallenge

The point was made in a podcast recently how the very first words spoken by a human in the Bible were these: “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” Adam knew at first sight that he and Eve were made for each other. ❤️ But sometimes marriage doesn’t feel that way. How can a man and woman who vowed to love each other until death be at odds so much of the time? (Or is it just us?!) 🤨 The enemy is doing everything in his power to destroy marriages. So pray together, laugh together, and be intentional about your marriage every single day. It’s not always going to be easy, and it’s not always going to feel good. But God gives us the graces to live out the Sacrament of Marriage. From paragraph 1615 of the Catechism (and go ahead and look up that entire paragraph to read): “It is by following Christ, renouncing themselves, and taking up their crosses that spouses will be able to ‘receive’ the original meaning of marriage and live it with the help of Christ.”

A holy marriage won’t happen overnight. And you don’t even need to do extravagant things! It just takes small steps to holiness...together. We’re sharing our experiences in this week’s video - find the link to the entire thing in our profile!
