SAINT OF THE DAY!

St. Dunstan (909 to 988)

Think it takes a master craftsman to build something beautiful? Meet St. Dunstan. He was a brilliant blacksmith, jeweler, and musician who dedicated his incredible talents to God. He famously fought off temptation by standing his ground and using his own blacksmith tongs to drive the devil away by nipping his nose. He proved that you have to actively forge a beautiful life and fiercely protect it from the outside world.

For young couples and newlyweds, his dedication to his craft is the perfect inspiration for your marriage. Here are 3 relationship tips inspired by his life:

🌟 1. MARRY YOUR BEST FRIEND: A strong marriage is actively forged in deep friendship. When you find the person who truly understands your heart, you will realize how rare that connection is. You will look at them and know that you are lucky to be in love with your best friend. Protect that friendship at all costs. There are people still searching for the friendship you have and do not know how long it takes to find a love like yours.

🧭 2. BE THEIR GUIDING LIGHT: St. Dunstan spent his life guiding others toward a better path. When the world gets chaotic and you feel lost across the water or across the deep blue ocean of life, you need to rely on your spouse. Be the steady presence your partner can always look to. Let them know they are your compass, your star, and your true north. You will always guide them back to a safe harbor and a safe home.

🏡 3. ALWAYS COME HOME: No matter how high St. Dunstan rose in leadership, his heart remained incredibly humble. Your marriage must be your ultimate safe haven. After a long, exhausting day of fighting battles in the real world, there is no better feeling than knowing you have a sanctuary waiting for you. Make sure your spouse always feels lucky to be coming home again to the beautiful life you built together.

SAINT OF THE DAY!

Pope St. John I (c. 470 to 526)

Think it is terrifying to step into uncharted territory? Meet Pope St. John I. He was the very first Pope to travel to the Eastern Roman Empire. Forced by a hostile king to lead a massive diplomatic mission, he had to leave his home and travel far away to negotiate peace. He walked directly into a dangerous and entirely unpredictable situation, but his profound faith and strategic leadership held the Church together.

For young couples and newlyweds, his incredible courage is the perfect inspiration for your marriage. Every new stage of life requires a massive leap of faith. Here are 3 relationship tips inspired by his journey:

🎓 1. LEAD WITH INTENTION: Marriage is the ultimate test of strategic leadership, and there is nothing that can prepare you for what comes next except for each other. When you face massive challenges, you cannot just sit back and watch. Let your partner know that it matters what you do. Remember that in a true partnership, you are not doing it for you anymore. Action speaks louder than words, so step up and lead your family through the chaos as a completely united front.

🚪 2. BE FULLY PRESENT: Pope John I had to travel far from home, but he was entirely focused on his mission. In your own life, it is incredibly easy to check out when things get exhausting. Ask yourself, are you just walking through the rooms of your own home without truly connecting to your spouse? Do not become a ghost. Become fully engaged and completely present to build a deep bond.

📚 3. DO THE REQUIRED WORK: You will inevitably face grueling seasons that test your endurance. Think of these hard times as the first three required classes of your relationship. You cannot drop these classes. When the workload gets incredibly intense and overwhelming, you have to prove your commitment. Show your partner that it matters what you say by putting in the effort. When you tell them you love them, ask yourself, do you feel it when you say those words? Do the necessary work to graduate to the next beautiful level of your life together.

SAINT OF THE DAY!

St. Paschal Baylon (1540 to 1592)

Think you need a massive platform to be a hero? Meet St. Paschal Baylon. He spent his entire life doing the most humble tasks, like tending sheep, sweeping floors, and opening doors for his fellow brothers. He never sought fame or power, but his deep devotion and incredible kindness made him an absolute giant of the faith. He proves that true greatness comes from quiet, daily dedication.

For young couples and newlyweds, his humble service is the perfect inspiration for building a legendary marriage. Here are 3 relationship tips inspired by his life:

👑 1. BUILD YOUR KINGDOM: St. Paschal served everyone around him with profound respect and dignity. In your marriage, you have to build each other up every single day. The outside world can be harsh. Make your home a sanctuary where your partner feels valued and safe. Treat them with the honor and respect you gave them when they met you on day one. In doing so, you can look at them and say I will be king and you will be queen of your own beautiful life together.

🧱 2. STAND BY THE WALL: As a humble doorkeeper, Paschal stood guard and protected the peace of his community. Life will inevitably shoot unexpected challenges right over your heads, and the stress of the world will try to break in. When that happens, you must be a united front. Be proud to say “I can remember standing by the wall with my partner,” and let both of you proudly look back on hard times you conquered together. Protect your vows and remember that we can beat them forever and ever as long as you stay united.

🦸‍♂️ 3. SHOW UP TO SAVE THE DAY: St. Paschal proved that you do not need to make grand gestures to be extraordinary. You just need to show up when it counts. By being present when your spouse is exhausted, stressed, or carrying a heavy burden, you can step in and take over the heavy lifting. Not all heroes wear capes. Choose to serve them selflessly, knowing that we can be heroes just for one day, every single day you are married.

SAINT OF THE DAY!

St. Brendan the Navigator (c. 484 to 577)

Think it is impossible to find peace when you are lost in the storm? Meet St. Brendan the Navigator. He is the legendary patron saint of sailors and travelers. Setting out on a massive voyage across the ocean into the unknown, he faced terrifying storms and deep darkness. He chose to protect his crew and keep his faith strong, proving that even in the most chaotic waters, you can break free from the turbulence and find a safe harbor.

For young couples and newlyweds, his incredible resilience is the perfect inspiration for navigating the rough waters of your marriage. Here are 3 relationship tips inspired by his life on the sea:

⛵ 1. BE THE LIGHTHOUSE: Every relationship will inevitably face difficult seasons and dark days adrift at sea. But your shared commitment must remain a relentless beacon. When the crushing waves of the outside world try to tear you down, you have to stand together and declare that your fire burns always. Both of you must know that your love is a fierce devotion guiding you home and will never be denied the beautiful life you are building.

⚓ 2. ANCHOR EACH OTHER: Emotional struggles and the daily storms of life can easily create a massive distance, making you feel lost at sea. When your spouse is suffering, do not let the silence win. Let them hear the words “seek me, call me, and I’ll be waiting” calling out through the heavy fog. Be the absolute safest harbor they can sail to. When they feel like they are sinking, pull them up. Work together to end any and all heartache so you can both find true peace on solid ground.

🧭 3. CHART A NEW COURSE: We all carry heavy baggage and toxic habits that can feel like a massive weight dragging us to the ocean floor. Sometimes your own flaws and insecurities will try to convince you that you are ruining the voyage, making you believe this is my curse. But true love breaks those heavy chains. When your partner is trapped in the deep waters of their own mind, remind them that there is love burning to find you. Help them navigate past their struggles and embrace the clear skies of your vows.

SAINT OF THE DAY!

St. Isidore the Farmer (1070 to 1130)

Think you need massive resources to change the world? Meet St. Isidore the Farmer. He spent his entire life doing the exact same manual labor every single day. He was a simple farmhand, yet his deep devotion and incredible work ethic led to extraordinary miracles right in his own fields. He proved that if you want to change the world, there is nothing to it but to start exactly where you are.

For young couples and newlyweds, his simple but profound life is the perfect inspiration for building a lasting marriage. Here are 3 relationship tips inspired by his journey:

🎩 1. CREATE YOUR OWN PARADISE: It is easy to look at other couples and wish you had their resources or their perfect house. But building a beautiful marriage starts with what you already have. Take your partner by the hand and tell them to come with me and you will be in a world of pure imagination. If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it in your own home. Do not wait for perfect conditions, because there is no life I know to compare with the one you build together.

🏖️ 2. FIND YOUR PEACE: St. Isidore worked incredibly hard, but he always made time to rest and refocus. The daily grind of work and chores can easily burn out a relationship. You have to carve out time to run away together and just enjoy each other. Create a space in your home where you can escape the stress of life, knowing that when you are together on an island in the sun, you will be playing and having fun. Protect those joyful moments so you will never feel bad anymore.

🏋️ 3. CARRY THE HEAVY BURDENS: Farming is exhausting work, and life will inevitably throw difficult seasons at your marriage. When your partner is overwhelmed, do not let them suffer in silence. A true spouse steps into the mess when they can see that you are breaking down. Look at your partner when they are hurting and ask them to let all their anxiety and exhaustion bleed into me. Be willing to step up, tell them I will bear the weight, and carry that heavy burden together so they never have to fight alone.

SAINT OF THE DAY!

St. Matthias the Apostle (First Century)

Think it is intimidating to step into a massive role when the pressure is on? Meet St. Matthias. After a tragic betrayal, the remaining apostles were fractured and needed a trusted brother to step up and complete their inner circle. Walking a lonely road, they gathered together, and the only thing they asked of a dear God was to guide their final choice. Matthias answered the call, proving that true leaders are always ready to serve when their team needs them most.

For young couples and newlyweds, his willingness to step into the gap is perfect inspiration for a strong marriage. Here are 3 relationship tips inspired by his journey:

⛓️ 1. RELEASE THE PAST: To step into his new monumental role, Matthias had to completely leave his old life behind. In a relationship, carrying old grudges will only drag both of you down. A strong marriage creates a safe space where you can ask your partner to take this heavy burden and set me free from all the sorrow of yesterday. Lift the weight off each other so you can thrive.

🤠 2. STAY TRUE IN THE BATTLE: Matthias was sent out to face immense opposition and travel through dangerous territory. Life will often throw your relationship right into the heat of a difficult battle. When the world tries to break you down, you have to stand tall. Even when you feel like you are facing the firing line, you must show your spouse you have always been true. By standing strong together, you show each other and others that your love over time is so strong, and that brings you closer to heaven.

🌌 3. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE: The apostles operated on a massive, eternal scale. It is incredibly easy for a marriage to get bogged down in the mundane details of daily chores. You have to remember the grand vision of your life together. Your commitment is a profound, cosmic connection. When your spouse feels as if they are walking all alone in the dark, assure them there you will find me. We are perfectly imperfect, but proudly by their side at any distance, we say “I’ll follow you.”

SAINT OF THE DAY!

Our Lady of Fatima (1917)

Think it is hard to stand your ground when no one believes you? Today the Church celebrates Our Lady of Fatima, who appeared to three young children in a small Portuguese village. They faced intense interrogation and mockery, but they refused to back down from the truth. They chose to open their eyes to a greater reality and keep their focus fixed entirely on the sky.

For young couples and newlyweds, their unwavering belief is the perfect inspiration for your marriage. Here are 3 relationship tips inspired by their story:

🛡️ 1. GUARD THEIR PEACE: The message of Fatima was heavily focused on caring for the souls of others. In your relationship, you are entrusted with the ultimate responsibility. When your partner is exhausted, vulnerable, or carrying a heavy weight, you must be the one to watch over them. Be the constant, reassuring presence they can always rely on when the world feels overwhelming.

🏰 2. SECURE THE WALLS: The outside world constantly tried to tear down the faith of the three children, but their shared bond was unbreakable. Your marriage must be built the exact same way. When the stress of work, finances, and outside opinions gets loud, you and your partner need to build a fortress. Create a safe home where the chaos of the world cannot reach you and defend your vows at all costs.

🐦‍⬛ 3. FLY BEYOND THE PAIN: The core message of Fatima was about finding peace and ascending above the brokenness of the world. Every marriage will experience unexpected seasons of deep pain or grief. When your relationship is suffering, do not let resentment weigh you down. Support each other through the darkest moments. Help your partner lift their heavy burdens so they can finally find peace and fly like a blackbird into a brighter tomorrow.
