Begin with the Prayer of Abandonment.

Today’s theme is “integrity.”

Who is the person you trust most in the world? Is it the person you married . . . and if not, why not?

It is simply not possible to cultivate an intimate marriage if one or both partners is determined to shut the other person out of part of their life. It can be tempting, of course, to bear a grudge and withhold trust or even affection. And yet, one of the bravest — yet most essential — acts two people can make is to daily make a choice for love.

Is there a tiny part of your heart that you are holding back? How can you take a step toward love today?
