Married Couples Weekend: December 3-5, 2021

Widely recognized expert on marriage, and often quoted by Catholic sources regarding the state of marriage.
​Fr. Mike Schmitz's discussion on couples and what makes some couples last while others struggle.  One of our favorites delivers again.

Podcast

From Matt Fradd's "Pints with Aquinas" podcast, Matt, and St. Thomas Aquinas, deal with the Catholic perspective on sex and sexuality.  (As you can imagine, marriage is featured prominently.) If you are not familiar with Matt Fradd, you can't help but enjoy an Australian guy who drinks beer while discussing the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas.

​Jackie Angel gives some fantastic advice to those preparing for marriage or are engaged.  Lessons on how to know if you have found the right one!  Great to watch and to share.
