Family Life and Parenting

Welcoming Children

Married couples are called to be open to life and generously welcome children into their home. Children are a great blessing to a family! They are not without their challenges, though, and adding children to the family can cause financial strain, career questions, and marital tension, in addition to bringing so much joy. Learning Natural Family Planning can help couples discern and respond to God’s will for their family, and adoption is also a beautiful way for families to grow.

Daily Marriage Tip

Acting out the Christmas story as a family (or group of families) is a great way to experience the beauty and power of Jesus’ Incarnation. If acting isn’t your strong suit, reading the Gospel narrative out loud makes it come alive in a fresh way, too.
