I’ve been married in a Catholic Church before and now divorced but my now boyfriend says he wants to marry me in a Catholic Church someday. How do I even start a petition for that? Also is that possible to re-marry in a Catholic Church?

You need to apply for an annulment of your first marriage and it has to be approved before you can marry again in the church. Contact your local parish for details.

My SIL did it several years ago and it took a while to get done.

⬆️This is correct. Also keep in mind that the annulment may or may not be granted.

Catholics don’t believe in divorce. You are married once in catholic teachings.

I don’t believe it’s possible, sorry.

That’s no reason not to have a beautiful ceremony with a religious officiant: I wanted to get married outdoors which isn’t allowed in the eyes of the church in Ireland - we married in the sunshine with an ex-priest serving as officiant and it was spiritual and beautiful. It was a big regular wedding, and most assumed it was a Catholic wedding, except for those who knew the rules.

Ask your priest. There may be a process of annulment but the guidance should be provided by your church/diocese.

You need an annulment, it takes some time and you will likely have to hire a canon lawyer (~$200), but 100% possible.

One of my parents was married in the church, got divorced, got marriage annulled, and then re married in the church

Couldn’t you just go to a different catholic church?

Yes - you have to declare parishes that you’ve been part of and they effectively “check your references”

My sister in law got her annulment approved.

Wife was previously married, got it annulled, we were married in a Catholic Church without issue, other than me not being catholic and preferring to not do a church wedding. But her family is all about it and wasn’t a hill I was going to die on.

They’ll do anything for the right size donation

If you can give a large donation… your first marriage gets magically annulled in the eyes of the church and you’re granted the privilege to pay to marry in the church again 🙃

Attorney no it’s not. Aunt and uncle did it for my cousin.

Divorced and remarried Catholic here. Unless your 1st marriage was annulled, you’re SOL. Civil law and Church law are two different things. The Catholic Church doesn’t recognize legal divorce. Therefore, unless the 1st marriage was annulled, remarriage is considered a sin.

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.

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. 😭😭

Any advice on how to approach this?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
