I enjoyed "Marriage and the Common Good," which I think would have been much better if it had included some observations of longer marriages and how those marriages affected the lives of the individuals and the communities in which they lived. As a 49-year-old married 26 years, I have observed many strong, traditional marriages that have been a blessing to the couple and their community, and many marriages (traditional and non-traditional) that have failed.
