The Spirituality of the Married Life

I have written before on what I learned about being a married Catholic as I read My Life with the Saints by Fr. James Martin, S.J. One other aspect of the married life that struck me is the way that we are far from exempt from the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. If anyone was hoping that getting married would get him (or her) out of these sometimes trying aspects of life, he’s got another thing coming. We automatically and obviously associate these with the religious life, but over the course of a few upcoming posts I would like to share my take on the evangelical counsels in the married life.

Coming soon…poverty!
