Pope Tells Bickering Couples not to Go to Bed Angry
2013-10-06
[An Nahar] Pope Francis on Friday advised married couples not to go to bed angry "even if the plates fly" in a light-hearted address during a pilgrimage to the sites associated with St Francis of Assisi.

"Argue as much as you like, even if the plates fly that is fine, but never end the day without making peace," the pope said in Assisi Cathedral.
Cheeze. He's been talking to my Mom.
"If married couples learn to say sorry, that is peace... It is a nice secret and that is life, rather than painful separations," he said.

Married couples who separate "have not managed to forgive each other in time," the pope said.

The pope also told priests not to give "endless and boring homilies that no one understands".

He told them to get to know their own parishes and said he had met clerics in Argentina "who even knew the names of the dogs in each family".

And if you have to go to bed angry, try to go to bed without clothes on.

Not a bad idea... and one area takes it a bit further

A priest blesses a dog wearing a tutu outside Madrid's San Anton Church, where hundreds of pet owners bring their animals to be blessed every year on the day of San Anton, Spain's patron saint of animals.

#2  Makes it a miracle, I guess, g(rom), because (after 39 years of marriage) it seems like pretty good advice.
