SmartLoving – In Partnership with the Diocese of Charleston
When a marriage breaks down, the trauma effects the spouses, their children, their extended family, their workplace, the wider community. When human failings in love are so painful, it can set up generations of disadvantage and makes it harder to trust in God’s love. The most effective way to prevent the tragedy of divorce is to build a marriage culture that empowers people to build thriving relationships.
SmartLoving is proud to partner with the Diocese of Charleston to provide quality marriage and family resources. The resources are grounded in the wisdom of the Church and provide practical skills to heal, enrich and protect marriages so that couples can become the effective agents of evangelization to which they are called.
