Difficult times can happen in a marriage.
These tough times are precisely when we need God’s grace and the assistance of other people who have been trained to help marriages heal. For the love of you spouse, isn’t it worth it to pray and seek out professional counseling for your marriage? Therefore, before considering divorce as an option, seek help. Your pastor and parish staff can guide you. Trust that the Lord will help you to protect the Sacrament of Marriage you entered into on your wedding day.
