Come hear the remarkable story of how a non-profit with an extraordinary treasure has begun to strengthen marriages across the world! The Holy Spirit entrusted a tremendous gift from St. John Paul II to Theresa & Peter Martin: The Rule for Married Couple Groups.
The Martins share the incredible story of founding the Wojtyła Community & Institute (WCI), and, in just over a year of offering leadership training, have over 75 leader couples starting groups across the US and in 8 different countries, including Poland! The WCI has recently developed a Hispanic section to their ministry with the plan to have everything translated into Spanish by the year’s end. This is only possible through God’s amazing grace!
It is not the number of couples that makes the story remarkable, but how the couples’ marriages are deepening. The couples who join a Married Couple Group typically already have a great, faithful marriage. Yet, each of them has shared profound growth in their conjugal spirituality. Here are just a few comments: “I never even knew this level of joy existed!” Another said, “It is unbelievable. Everyone should be in a married couple group!” One group shared that previous to following the Rule, they had been meeting together for nearly a decade, yet, when they began to follow the Rule, things changed: “Our gatherings have been so much more fruitful! Although we've known each other a long time, the sharing is much deeper and we are becoming more vulnerable with each other which has been so incredible to witness and be a part of!”
Listen as Peter & Theresa expound on the astonishing insight offered by St. John Paul II and how following the Rule allows couples (even without their knowing it) to reintegrate their personhood in a fuller reflection of the Divine Communion of Persons. In our modern world, where our personhood is constantly disintegrated, St. John Paul II has given us a tool that brings spouses almost effortlessly into a place of giftedness and authentic love, which results in abundant joy!
