Welcome!
In this video, we're answering one of the most important questions: How do you actually find a spouse? But before we answer that, we ask an even better question: What is a spouse?
Spoiler: it's not a checklist. It's not a lifestyle. And it's definitely not a refrigerator…but we'll explain that hilarious Blessed Fulton Sheen reference.
*Disclaimer: this video was recorded before Blessed Fulton Sheen received the title ‘Blessed.’
We break down what you should actually look for in a spouse, starting with the most important thing: Can you both help each other grow closer to God? From there, we share the three foundational commitments every Catholic marriage needs: building a Catholic home, being open to life, and understanding marriage as a lifelong covenant…not a contract.
We also dive into practical questions you should ask on a first date (we did!), why compatibility matters but isn't everything, and how to discern whether someone is genuinely the one God is calling you to marry. Plus, we share our own story of how we knew within weeks that we were meant for each other; and why you don't need years of dating to figure that out.
Whether you're single and searching, confused about what matters in a spouse, or just tired of the world's shallow approach to relationships; this episode will help you see marriage the way the Church does: as a sacred vocation rooted in God.
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
