Welcome Letter from Anne DeSantis<\/h3>\n

Love is so much more than erratic, Hollywood passion. Married couples tell us it\u2019s more than a feeling. It’s a choice.<\/p>\n

But some of us haven\u2019t been lucky in love. We\u2019ve loved and lost. Some are afraid they\u2019ll never find the love of their life.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to tell you that if you’re single, your beloved is out there! If you’re engaged, or married, then you’re probably looking for ways to keep the love light alive – especially in this pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This the good news of the Gospel \u2013 God hungers for each of us to live a deeply fulfilled and happy life.<\/p>\n

We all yearn for the saga hidden in the Song of Songs, where a couple find a deep, burning love for each other, a love that overcomes every trial. Is true love possible? And, if it is, what do we have to do to find our own? How do we keep it kindled after ten years of marriage?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not alone. Join us to discover the real, thrilling meaning to romance, and how we create happily-ever-after in the real world.
