On the publication of the new magazine, 'married life', a guide to couples considering married, Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor, the Archbishop of Westminster, said:

'I welcome the publication of the magazine, married life.
'I believe that marriage is at the heart of a stable society. When I think of my own parents, I recognise that it was their marital bond that provided stability in our home and in our relationships with one another. Many married couples experience struggles from time to time. However, I rejoice that their commitment to each other, expressed in their vows, is able to sustain them as they grow in love and understanding of each other's needs along the journey of life.

'I would like to thank all those who are involved with this initiative.'
