Welcome!

In this video, we're tackling one of the hardest truths about marriage: the illusion fades. You know that feeling when you first fall in love? That "happily ever after" fantasy? Yeah, it doesn't last…and that's actually a good thing.

We dive deep into why feelings alone can't sustain a marriage, why the vows say "for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health," and what it really means to build your marriage on God instead of emotion. We'll talk about the sacrament of matrimony, what vocation truly is, and how understanding these truths transformed our marriage from something we thought would make us happy into something that's making us holy.

We also share what we learned at Pre-Cana (premarital counseling) and how Blessed Fulton Sheen's wisdom about marriage helped us see that marriage isn't about two people trying to make each other happy; it's about two people helping each other get to heaven.

*Disclaimer: this video was recorded before Blessed Fulton Sheen received the title ‘Blessed.’

If you've ever wondered what separates a real Catholic marriage from the world's version of "love," or if you're struggling through the hard seasons when the butterflies are gone and real work begins…this episode is for you.

We're not marriage experts; we're simply a Catholic husband and wife committed to growing in this vocation together and inviting others to grow with us.

We hope our channel can create a space for honest discussions about Catholic marriage, dating, faith, family, and becoming the husband or wife God is calling us to be.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, we’d love for you to subscribe and join us on this adventure. 🤍

God bless,
Ben & Audrey
