The Only Divorce-Free City in the World
The family is one of the institutions most affected by the crisis in our
decadent times. Religious and moral sentiments have practically disappeared
as if torn to bits. The divorces rate is overwhelming — an estimated 50% of
marriages fall apart. Added to this, there are illicit unions, which are
common and seemingly without consequences.
That is why it does so much good to hear — lo and behold! — that despite
the malice of the times, there is a city in this world that has not
surrendered to universal depravity and in which family bonds are so strong
that there is no record of divorce.
This privileged city is Siroki-Brijeg. Located in Bosnia, its approximately
26,000 inhabitants of Croatian origin, have always been ready to defend
their Catholic faith even in the face of the worst adversities. This is
what happened, for example, during the Muslim invasion centuries ago.
Then, the country fell under the boot of atheist Communism when the faith
was tested in every possible way.
Reports from several trusted Catholic sites say that “Siroki-Brijeg is
remarkable … for in the collective memory of all there has never been a
single divorce among the Croatian Catholics of the city.”1

What is the explanation for such a remarkable fact?
First, consistent with its profound Croatian tradition, the population of
this city is almost 100% Catholic, and they live their faith very
seriously. They consider it a point of honor to defend the indissolubility
of marriage and the monogamous family formed by the union of a man and a
woman – as stated in the country’s Constitution – with the blessings of
Holy Mother Church
However, what marks this profoundly religious attitude is that they see
marriage as a cross indissolubly united to the Cross of Christ. This leads
spouses to face their union without romanticism, false expectations, or
illusions. Realistically, they know that in this valley of tears everyone
has defects. There is no mutual understanding without a mutual exercise of
patience.

This Catholic view of marriage is what prevents the incidence of divorce
and separations. However, this attitude finds physical expression in a
custom. During their married life, the spouses find strength by praying
together before the crucifix they hold together during the religious
wedding ceremony.
In this ceremony, the priest blesses the crucifix presented by the bride
and groom. He places the bride’s right hand upon the crucifix, then that of
the groom upon hers, and covers them with a stole. The couple then makes
their vows with their hands clasping the crucifix. The priest tells them
they have found the ideal “partner” with whom they must share their lives
with the following words: “You have found your cross! It is a cross that
you must love and take with you every day of your lives. Know how to
appreciate it."
After kissing the cross, the spouses enthrone it in a place of honor in
their homes, showing their profound belief that a family must be born of
the cross.
When trials, misunderstandings, disagreements and difficulties common to
all marriages arise, both spouses kneel before the crucifix and with
unwavering faith ask for strength to endure them, for Our Lord’s yoke “is
easy, and his burden, light.” This attitude is consistent with the belief
that the cross will give them strength to overcome daily trials if they
grounded their marriage on it.
The spouses are keenly aware that if one abandons the other, they will
abandon Christ. Experience teaches that the source of perseverance through
which they will gain eternal life can only come from the Cross of Christ
rather than any external factor.

The children born of these strong unions learn from a tender age to
venerate the family crucifix and direct their early prayers to the cross.
In this way, these Catholics learn to practice, from an early age, that
which the immortal Portuguese author Luis de Camões already celebrates with
the words: “Thou, who carefully looks for rest in this tempestuous sea of
the world, do not expect to find any rest except in Jesus Christ
crucified.” Children thus acquire a consistent formation to face the
vicissitudes of life with a supernatural spirit.
