Let us treasure marriage harmony more than anything and do our best to maintain peace and tranquillity in our home… Then, children will follow our example and our home will thrive.

Let us treasure marriage harmony more than anything and do our best to maintain peace and tranquillity in our home… Then, children will follow our example and our home will thrive.

Many are the joys of spouses who get along and deep are the sorrows of those who argue! Neither richness or wealth, good children, praise or honour can bring joy to the husbands who don’t get along.

Let us treasure marriage harmony more than anything and do your best to maintain peace and tranquillity in our home… Then, children will follow our example and our home will thrive.

There where spouses and children are united through the ties of virtues, love and sympathy, Christ will be amidst them. (Saint John Chrysostom)
