Nothing short-term about marriage

A University of Ottawa student’s master’s thesis arguing there should be a trial period for marriage has not gained much traction among many Catholics. Most see it as contrary to one of the basic elements of marriage — that those entering into a marriage have an intention of permanence.

A proposal that marriages should have a trial period has received a lot of media attention but the notion runs afoul of what marriage is all about, particularly for Catholics.
