The observances of National Marriage Week (Feb. 7-14) and World Marriage Day (Sunday, Feb. 14) are an opportunity to focus on building a culture of life and love that begins with supporting and promoting marriage and the family. Our theme for 2021 is "To Have, To Hold, To Honor."

Celebrate and enrich your marriage this week by taking some time each day to listen to the Word of God, meditate, reflect, and pray together. Each day includes a passage from Scripture followed by a re-imagined story from a different perspective and a prayer for couples. The stories and reflection questions included are intended to help you renew your commitment “to have, to hold, to honor” your spouse.

Celebren y enriquezcan su matrimonio tomándose un tiempo cada día para escuchar la Palabra de Dios, meditar, reflexionar, y orar juntos. Cada día es una oportunidad para leer y meditar en un pasaje de las Escrituras seguido de una historia imaginada desde una perspectiva diferente. Reflexionen en las preguntas que siguen y concluyan con una oración para las parejas. Las historias y las preguntas para la refleción tienen por objeto ayudarlas a renovar su compromise de “recibir, prometer, y respetar” a su cónyuge. Haga clic en el enlace para descargar el PDF de Retiro matrimonial:
