MARRIAGE MINUTE How far should we go? In marriage, sin can be easy to spot… in our spouse! In this weekend’s Gospel, Jesus gets really serious about sin, and, therefore, he raises the bar on how far we should go to root out sin. If our marriages are the most important relationship on earth, it is worth taking a look at how we can root out sins against our spouse: • Switch to a flip phone or use accountability software to keep from looking at inappropriate websites, or even just to keep your phone from becoming a distraction. • Intentionally flood your relationship with affirmation to correct a habit of criticism. • Withdraw from activities that make too many demands on family time or Sunday Mass. • Set reminders for yourself to do the things that make your spouse feel loved to avoid taking him/her for granted.
