Hi All,

My article entitled "A Clinician's Guide to Helping Couples Heal from the Trauma of Infidelity" has just been published by the Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy, and I thought you might be interested in reading.

The article has been two years in the gestation and refining, and represents my synthesis of the current research and literature on the topic, as well as my own insights garnered from working with this issue for a dozen plus years.

Please feel free to pass this along to colleagues who you think would be interested and could benefit from it.

I also welcome any observations or comments you may have.

Warm regards to one and all,

Rob

World Meeting of Families

Chapter Four: "Two Become One" Takes More Than Romance


New Year

While romance is surely good, it is not all that is needed to make a marriage work. Chapter four of the World Meeting of Families Catechesis says that a marriage needs mercy and chastity to help spouses truly become "one flesh."

Monday Music Moment – “I’ll Never Find Another You”

Posted: 26 Apr 2015 09:00 PM PDT

I went for a walk down Memory Lane and got right down near the end of it. This is a song from my childhood. It is the Seekers singing, “I’ll Never Find Another You.” The whiff of nostalgia here for me is so overpowering that I think I’m going to faint!

To: Dear Bill <billcoffin68@gmail.com>


 

Dear Bill

Welcome to the latest edition of The Marriage Challenge podcast. This month we are joined by Kate and Harry Benson who talk very candidly about the struggles they experienced in their marriage – struggles which left them facing the prospect of divorce. In this interview, they explain how they managed to pull their relationship back from the brink and are now happier together than they have ever been. 

Whether you are going through a difficult time in your own marriage or have friends or family who are struggling, this is a must-listen. The Bensons’ story offers hope that relationships can be turned around, and that it is possible not just to survive together … but to thrive together.

Best wishes,

The Marriage Support Team

Thanks for sending me this reminder.  I am attaching the handout/slide we use these days with the four essentials.  The 4th one was added by Better Marriages Leadership, recognizing that the mace's implicitly valued this but didn't put it on the essential list in the early writings.  Maybe they would have added it had they been with us longer??

Good to see you a couple of weeks ago. 

Blessings,  Joan

Recovering Origins: A Unique Healing Retreat for Adult Children of Divorce

Recovering Origins
is a three day retreat at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine that invites participants to move through the broken image of love that appeared to them in their parents’ divorce to their deepest origin and identity as God’s beloved. The retreat gives participants a greater understanding of the wound of divorce and the ways it affects their lives, offers advice about the difficulties concerning love and trust of others, and explains how the Catholic faith, spiritual practices, and the Sacraments are essential to self-knowledge and healing. The retreat begins on Friday, May 1st at 6:30 P.M. and ends on Sunday, May 3rd at 3:30 P.M. Cost per individual is $75 (includes several meals) and space is limited. Scholarships are available upon request. Please note that the retreat neither includes nor requires overnight lodging, but lodging in the area is available on a first-come, first-serve basis for those who would like to purchase it. To register or to request more information please email Daniel Meola at Daniel.Meola@jp2shrine.org.

        My dream is that this retreat will be offered 2-3 times a year or more if needed at the Shrine. I pray we can really start healing the wounds of the culture through this retreat. Please keep it in your prayers.

        If you have any questions about the retreat, then please don't hesitate to email me. Thank you.

Regards,
Daniel Meola
