Our marriages are not just for us, they are an office of service. * Every mother and father is to act as "priests of the home" and take up the spiritual authority God has given them for the sake of their children. * Forgiveness is key to restoring relationships that have been broken and can teach children powerful lessons on relationships. * In order to transform your family you will need to start with these three things - create habits to support your goals, make Jesus the king of your home, and build community to support your family. Couple Discussion Questions * How are we leading together in the home? Have we taken up that call to spiritual leadership? * What is my understanding of forgiveness?

How are we giving from the well of our sacrament? * What are 2 resolutions that we can make today to start living a transformed family life?

About Podcast

Parenting is not a clean-cut, simple process for those who like to follow the rules. Family life is messy and unpredictable, but it is the greatest adventure you will ever have. We are Mike and Alicia Hernon, parents of 10 children with a growing number of grandchildren, and we would like to invite you into some of the conversations we have had with each other about marriage, parenting, and Catholic family life. Our hope is that our conversation sparks a dialogue between you and your spouse that leads to greater unity and intentional Christian parenting in your home. Listen in to our podcast and start the conversation as we seek to lead our families to heaven.
