ASCENSION
About this episode

Please note: This episode contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

In today's episode, my wife Beth joins me to address the unique challenges Catholics face in their marriage and families. We respond to listener questions about building the emotional climate that we talked about in the first part of this mini-series, as well as improving the work-life balance for the good of the family, how to handle interfaith marriages, as well as finding deeper healing when it comes to sins of lust.

Snippet from the Show
Thank God in prayer for the awareness to see the difficulties (as well as the blessings!) in your marriages: then, ask God for the grace for you to take the next step towards transformation and healing through those difficulties.
