Catholic Military Life

Living out a commitment to marriage can be difficult under the best of circumstances, let alone when one of the couple serves in the U.S. Military, with its transient nature, long deployments, and periods of separation. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Mr. Murphy Lierley (pictured with wife Kelli) offers guidance on how a military marriage can thrive in spite of challenging circumstances. Mr. Leirley is an international trainer for the marriage support group FOCCUS Inc., USA. FOCCUS stands for "Facilitate Open Caring Communication, Understanding, and Study." The organization teaches that communication and problem-solving are among the keys to a successful marriage.
