Hi friends. Have you ever dated a non-Catholic or non-Christian, and do you think you could see a holy marriage arising out of it?

I grew up in a two denomination household. Admittedly it was Catholic and Episcopalian so many shared beliefs. My parents celebrate the similarities, share the major holidays (Christmas Eve at the Episcopal church, Christmas morning at the Catholic Church and similar for Easter), and respect the differences. They will be married 50 years this year.

Hi! I know this post is old and I meant to reply to it when you originally posted. I am in one of those marriages you mention. I’d like to think it’s holy (although we only convalidated it this past weekend). I’m Catholic and my husband is Pentecostal. I love him so much and see our marriage as such a blessing in my life. I will admit that it is a little odd to work through differences in belief in the Real Presence ... but, then again, a big chunk of Catholics don’t believe in that either 😫. What I love about my husband’s faith is that he has a deep trust and faith in God’s mercy and grace. I have enjoyed learning about the nuances of his faith and their connections to my own.

That said, part of why I am comfortable with this might be because I come from a Catholic mom and Lutheran dad.

Anyways, I guess the short answer to your question is yes I have dated a non-Catholic and I sure hope a holy marriage can come from it!

I've been seeing a girl for three months who's been very wonderful, but I have been having increasing concerns along these lines. I think I know the answer here, and am going to talk with friends and family for advice, but am keen to get y'alls perspectives too. Appreciate and God bless

Let yourself listen to God’s plan. Hear him out with open ears.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
