What can young committed couples do that will best enhance their love for one another? In a culture where many are turning away from the tradition of Marriage, the Theology Commission of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has recently published a pastoral message entitled What Does Marriage Add to Your Love which encourages couples to re-examine the Sacrament of Marriage as a viable option.
'We wish to encourage and support you in your search to fulfill your deepest
desires and find happiness. We suggest some thoughts for your reflection,
and share some insights on Christian marriage that have been offered by other
couples engaged on the same journey'.
The bishops of Canada have thus continued to teach about this very important subject, especially considering that many in some parts of Canada have been steadily drawn away from the teachings of the Church over the past number of decades. The work of evangelization in such a culture is increasingly challenging, but there is still evidence of hope, especially among those who seek answers to the questions of life. They may not always look to the Church for guidance, but indirectly, they can be referred to the beauty of our tradition, a story that is still alive and available to us.
