Session 24: Matthew 19 - Marriage and charity

 Key Points:

Marriage is a COVENANT, not merely a CONTRACT.  Each partner’s goal should be to make sure the other goes to heaven.  Daily prayer TOGETHER greatly increases the odds of a lasting, successful marriage.  For marriage in general, read CCC paragraphs 2360-2381. Divorce: paragraphs 2382-2385 Annulment: paragraph 1629 The rich young ruler’s wealth was an impediment to a closer walk with Jesus. What’s your impediment?  Pray about your priorities and what to do about them. You can’t earn your way to heaven! (Pelagianism heresy)  It is a free gift from God, but we must cooperate. Eternal life beats any life we could imagine on this earth!
