Examination of Conscience for Spouses

Too often we examine our conscience the way we did when we were children and only think in terms of the Ten Commandments. As married couples, it is more helpful to look at our behavior through the lens of our relationship as husband and wife, what we have done and what we have failed to do. Our most grievous sins or failings are often connected with the way we treat our spouse and so we offer this Examination of Conscience for Couples as a way to grow in holiness through our most significant belonging relationship.

The Living in Love retreat workshop:

Every married couple can benefit from the refreshingly positive and liberating experience of Living in Love, a day-and-a-half retreat workshop held in parish facilities that is designed to empower couples to pro-actively live in love more consistently. Living in Love validates the unique gifts of both masculine and feminine spirituality while calling both men and women to a life of other-centered generosity. Both men and women feel very much at home with the action-oriented, common-sense insight into relationship, and young, modern couples especially appreciate the latest research from the sciences and the atmosphere that respects them as thinking adults. Jesuit in nature, Living in Love provides an opportunity for couples to reflect on all the good they have going for them while picking apart the things that interfere with living the passionate, loving relationship they desire and are absolutely capable of at any age or circumstance.
