Did you know that one doesn’t even have to believe in God to validly contract marriage? God wrote the universal desire for and understanding of marriage directly into the hearts of mankind. Even atheists who freely desire to enter into a lifelong union of man and woman that is ordered to their mutual support, is exclusive, is permanent, and is open...
Both parties must have a reasonable understanding of what they are doing and who they are choosing, and they must be willing and able to commit to a permanent, exclusive relationship that is open to the gift of children. It sounds straightforward, and it is, but today the number of failed marriages points to two general causes of divorce. 1. The fi...
No one likes the world “adultery.” But that’s what results when people decide on their own, or with wrong counsel, to remarry civilly with no annulment of their prior marriage(s). It may not feel like adultery, especially when the first marriage was difficult and this time it is not. But truth is not about our feelings. Jesus did not come to abolis...
Some people who are divorced and remarried feel deeply rejected and even furious when they are told they cannot receive the Eucharist: “I need Jesus. Would he turn away the sinners?” But communion with the Lord is not to be grasped at; he is already present to everyone at any moment and denies his love to no one. The Church knows the spiritual dang...
If it’s authentic, it bears the mark of its maker. As such, a true marriage bond is distinguished by the same character of the way Jesus, the Bridegroom, loves us, his Bride. We look to the cross to see the fullness of this self-donating, life-giving love. Archbishop Fulton Sheen once explained that what was actually happening at Calvary was nuptia...

Convalidation is the process where, after getting the prior marriage(s) declared null, the civilly remarried couple freely contracts a valid new marriage. ...
“Divorce is a grave offense against the natural law. . . . Divorce does injury to the covenant of salvation, of which sacramental marriage is the sign.

“There are some situations in which living together becomes practically impossible for a variety of reasons. In such cases the Church permits the physical separation of the couple and their living apart. The spouses do not cease to be husband and wife before God and so are not free to contract a new union. . . . The best solution would be, if possi...
“If the divorced are remarried civilly, they find themselves in a situation that objectively contravenes God’s law. Consequently, they cannot receive Eucharistic communion if this situation persists. . . .

“The (marital) consent must be an act of the will of each of the contracting parties, free of coercion or grave external fear. If this freedom is lacking the marriage is invalid” (CCC 1628). “For this reason . . .
