Vatican City, Oct 7, 2018 / 05:05 am (CNA/EWTN News).- A married couple striving to faithfully live out their life-long commitment to each other, need both God’s grace and love that is anchored in self-gift, Pope Francis said Sunday.

"What allows married couples to remain united in marriage is a love of mutual self-giving sustained by the grace of Christ," the pope said Oct. 7.
