Support for Marriages

 

Resources for couples going through difficult times


Everyone is suceptible to experience difficulties, at times, in their marriage.

The good news is that challenges are opportunities for growth.

When you feel stuck, it isn't a sign of weakness to seek help, but rather of strength - this important step can truly help you and your spouse get to a place of thriving rather than surviving.

There are many resources for couples who desire to overcome obstacles and are open to healing, through God's grace.

The Marriage, Family and Life Office at the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface can offer suggestions of professionals and organizations that are experts in helping couples, and that can journey with you in a way that is respectful of your faith life.

  • Please reach out to the Office to access a Private List of Therapists and Mentors that are Catholic, Christian & 'Catholic-Friendly'.

  • We are also pleased to make Recommendations of Resources (books, DVD programs, etc.) that you may find helpful.
