According to Magisterial teachings, marriages today are threatened by forces that militate against the well-being of the institution of marriage and family life. There has been an increase in the number of marriages that end before the first 10 years. The sexual revolution has brought about the culture of death through promiscuity and infidelity, divorce, contraceptives and abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Couple Empowerment Programme, we dream of a world where couples live a heroic love with Christ as their standard, raising their children to become fine men and women. We wish for a world where husbands love and protect their wicves, and wives \u2014 through their sacrificial love \u2014 are their husbands’ helpmates.<\/span><\/p>\n
