I learned tonight after Mass that a great young Catholic man in his 30s is experiencing a deep fear of marriage, I think because of the troubled marriages he has seen in close family members.
What is the solution for this? It seems to be quite widespread.
I think the solution is to kind of delve into what makes a good marriage - kind of a quest for truth. (Which is what I think Catholicism is all about: truth.)
I also think that looking to role models, people who are enjoying successful marriage by following the Catholic Church’s precepts, is very encouraging and puts fears to rest to a great extent as well, and paves the way for a good marriage.
What else can we do at the parish level to help young people form successful families?
