How to Help a Struggling Marriage - SL Insights Ep 5

“I wanted to help, but I didn’t know how.” If you’ve been in the position of having a friend, parishioner, or family member confide their marital problems, you’re in the majority – 69% of adult men and 78% of adult women have been there. For priests, we suspect that number reaches 100%.

Unless you’ve had specific training, these situations can be unnerving. We all hate to see loved ones suffering, and while our instinct is to help, knowing what’s genuinely helpful isn’t always obvious.

Through our work in the SmartLoving apostolate, we’ve walked alongside many couples and spouses in distress. This experience has taught us valuable lessons about effective support while working within our limitations.
