How The Catholic Church Saved My Marriage?

Dr. David Anders shares his personal discovery and defends the Church’s teachings on marriage, even the most controversial topics such as divorce, remarriage, gay marriage, and contraception. In his candid book, “The Catholic Church Saved My Marriage: Discovering Hidden Grace in the Sacrament of Matrimony,” Anders recounts his marriage’s painful beginnings in the early 2000s, which led him to find contempt for each other. The Catholic Church teaches that every sacramental marriage has divine grace flowing through it, and Jesus commands us to let no man separate from what God has joined together.

Anders reports that by the early 2000s, his marriage was so painful that he and his wife had just one thing in common: contempt for each other. According to the Code of Canon Law, “The radical sanation of an invalid marriage is its convalidation without the renewal of consent” (CIC 1161:1). This means you do not have to go through a new marriage ceremony. For a radical sanation to take place, several conditions must apply.

In today’s world, marriages are breaking apart and undermining human dignity. Dr. Anders offers a hope-filled alternative for those who live moral and spiritual lives, offering a hope-filled alternative to the Church’s teachings on marriage. By understanding the hidden grace in the sacrament of matrimony, individuals can find peace and happiness in their relationships.
