Pope Francis Says “Please,” “Sorry” and “Thank You” Are The Three Words That Make A Successful Marriage
In today’s world, maintaining a successful marriage can be difficult, but Pope Francis claims that just three words can make things work.
Pope Francis on Sunday aimed to encourage married couples, going through tough times during the pandemic and believes that three words can make it better, “Please, thanks and sorry.”
The Pope wrote a letter to married couples to encourage them to stay together amidst quarantines and lockdowns.
“Maybe we aren’t born into an exceptional, problem-free family, but our family is our story — everyone has to think: It’s my story,” he said. “They are our roots: If we cut them, life dries up!”
“Pre-existing problems were aggravated, creating conflicts that in some cases became almost unbearable. Many even experienced the breakup of a relationship,” Francis added.

“The breakdown of a marriage causes immense suffering, since many hopes are dashed, and misunderstandings can lead to arguments and hurts not easily healed,” he added. “Children end up having to suffer the pain of seeing their parents no longer together.”
He said parents should solve conflicts, with prayer. “Remember also that forgiveness heals every wound,” he said.
“Please, thanks and sorry.”
The Pope also went on to express how families should interact more and put their cellphones down.
