Mike Schmitz: &#8220;Marriage is a journey, not a destination. It&#8217;s about growing together, learning together, and becoming holier together.&#8221; Think of it as an epic road trip with your best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, you&#8217;re in the thick of wedding planning, right? It&#8217;s exciting, but it can also be a little overwhelming. Keep in mind that your wedding day isn&#8217;t the finish line; it&#8217;s just the starting point of this incredible adventure. When you plan your wedding with this mindset, you&#8217;re saying, &#8220;We&#8217;re not just preparing for a day; we&#8217;re preparing for a lifetime of growth and love together.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast forward to married life \u2013 it&#8217;s a beautiful journey filled with highs and lows. But remember, it&#8217;s not about reaching some perfect destination. It&#8217;s about growing together, learning from each other, and becoming the best versions of yourselves side by side. Every experience, every challenge, and every triumph is a part of that journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, it&#8217;s not just about weddings and marriages. It&#8217;s about how you approach every day. Look at each day as a new chapter in your journey together. It&#8217;s not about being perfect; it&#8217;s about growing and learning together. In your everyday interactions, be each other&#8217;s support, cheerleader, and partner in becoming holier individuals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicweddingplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cropped-let-us-pray.png?resize=1024%2C154&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicweddingplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cropped-let-us-pray.png?resize=1024%2C154&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicweddingplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cropped-let-us-pray.png?resize=300%2C45&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicweddingplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cropped-let-us-pray.png?resize=768%2C115&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicweddingplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cropped-let-us-pray.png?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear God,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We thank You for the beautiful journey of marriage.
