  After introducing this special series on the weekend of the special Jubilee of Families held October 13-14 in Rome, we continue today with the fourth lesson Being On Guard Against the Addictive Weeds of Destruction in which we examine the sixth "a" - addiction. Though it is the least of the six evils, it can be the most dangerous because it is overlooked. Because of that it can be compared to a harmful weed that, if not tended to, multiplies and eventually slowly, but surely strangles a marriage, like a deadly vineweed that wraps itself around either the husband or wife and can choke the love of the marriage, extinguish the flame of love. Before that fateful event happens, it's time to call on the great Eternal Exterminator to separate the wheat of marital love from the chaff of addictions. Tending to the marital garden is not easy work, it takes hard work, often times getting down in the dirt to clean out these suffocating weeds. That is the only way a couple can cultivate their marriage and allow for the growth of a new springtime of love - pure, Conjugal Love. This sensitive and enlightening series is co-written by Michael and Cyndi Cain, who share what the Holy Spirit has inspired them to write including intimate, chasteful revelations of their own lives that have helped elevate their Conjugal Love. The entire concept unlocks the keys to reestablishing the Sanctity of Life through the Charism of Conjugal Love and, through one couple at a time, like a ripple that extends ever outward, we can change the world and eradicate the culture of death. This series will run in each Saturday issue. For the fourth lesson, see AT ONE WITH GOD series on Conjugal Love
