15 Real Couples Shared What Their Marriage Needs--Emotional Connection

Recently, Sarah invited her marriage ministry followers to reply to a simple question:

"What Does Your Marriage Need Right Now"?

She offered to take their marriage prayer intentions before Jesus in Adoration.

Over 59 women and men answered.

There was a common thread running through most of them. 

In today's episode, Sarah shares fifteen responses from Catholic wives and husbands. This privileged glimpse into the heart of real Catholic marriages illustrates what Our Lady says at the Wedding at Cana in John 2:3:

"They have no more wine." 

Reading through these 15 replies, Sarah reflects on what they teach us about the need for intimacy, communication, joy, friendship, and that so-necessary superglue for marriage:
