The Heart's Desire
The Heart's Desire
Greg Schutte, MSW, LISW-S
Our heart's desire is more than just finding someone to love. Rather it is a yearning for a connection that is out of this world! Many marriages today are struggling to thrive, let alone survive, because many couples today are given little to no direction when it comes to building and maintaining a successful marriage. This program addresses the many stresses and pitfalls that wear at the fabric of relationships today, while at the same time providing listeners with ways to identify root issues, support your marriage through skill building ideas and through faith-infused learning.

Season 2, Episode 1 - A Light to Others
We start a new season of the "Heart's Desire" by taking a look at the readings from the Mass this week on the Acts of the Apostles. Though persecuted and beaten down for their faith, the early Christians found joy in sharing God's Good News to all the world. Are we also willing to share that same light through how we live out our marriage and family life? Christ is still today needing us to witness to the world through the gift of our lives.

We shouldn't be looking to God only when things are at their worst, but should be seeking his help throughout our married life. Seeking and asking for God's grace is vitally important for our marital success......so don't knock it!
