Bishop Conlon Talks about the Gift of Marriage, part 23

Gratitude. Husband and wife need to recognize each other a as a great gift and grateful to God for that gift. We need each other and marriage is the most intimate of human communities and so gratitude comes from people being married and in the day-to-day living in the married life. Couples should give thanks for the blessings in their lives. When couples are self giving to each other, that is a sign of gratitude of couples to each other. Gratitude is also a school for kids for them to learn about it from their parents’ expressing it.
