Thanks for sharing all this...I have many family experiences that track with yours, and am thankful every day to have been given the grace to rise above them.
I can say my marriage is truly "sacramental" and believe it with all my heart.
Agree, same here (which is why loss of my darling this year has hurt so horribly--the sacrament truly makes Two into One, and without the other, it's just staggering around in a kind of mutilated state...even as I know where we will be reunited some day).
no one will ever convince me that my poor grandmother had a sacramental marriage. I do not believe God intends anyone -- man or woman to suffer a lifetime of grievious harm at the hands of another.
Can competely track with this.
Again, and not to be contentious, my point was about how the Divorce Industry swoops in to make money and power off of these incredibly painful instances, and how that meshes with and exploits biological instincts like I noted previously.
Thanks for the give and take, and in such a strong and obviously caring vein as you offered.

Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your beloved spouse. May God bless you!
I return those Blessings to you, fren. Thank you.
