Work
Ordinary Time: Cycles in Marriage, Faith, and Renewal
This work examines the ongoing journey of marriage as a dynamic relationship marked by periods of both challenge and blessing. Drawing upon the concept of ordinary time from religious tradition, the book considers how couples navigate the longer stretches of daily life together rather than focusing only on dramatic moments or crises. The narrative explores themes of faith as a sustaining force in relationships, the cyclical nature of conflicts and reconciliations, and the potential for renewal that exists within the ordinary passages of shared life. Through careful examination of these patterns, the book offers perspective on how commitment deepens over time and how spiritual practices can support marital bonds through various seasons of closeness and distance. more
