Tools for building a strong Catholic Marriage. 

I'm Mari

Meeting the Guys

I kick off the episode by introducing my co-hosts for the day, Brock and Anders. Both share their unique experiences and perspectives, grounded in their commitment to their faith and their mission-driven lives. Brock, working in software sales, and Anders, a dedicated missionary, bring a refreshing honesty to the conversation, opening up about their dating journeys and what they’re looking for in a future spouse.

The Catholic Approach to Dating

Anders and Brock both emphasize the importance of friendship in romantic relationships. For them, faith is a non-negotiable aspect, guiding them towards finding partners who share their beliefs and commitment to living a Christ-centered life. They talk about navigating the dating world with intentionality—seeing it as an opportunity for growth, adventure, and the chance to form deeper connections with those who share their values.

Seeking Compatibility

As we delve deeper, we discuss the traits and qualities that they find most attractive in women. Confidence, a sense of humor, and a shared mission in life top their lists. They reflect on how faith plays a pivotal role in their relationship goals and the importance of prospective partners who are equally passionate about their spiritual journey.

The Role of Faith

Brock and Anders offer invaluable insights into how they envision faith playing a role in their relationships. They aspire to not only share a spiritual journey with their partner but to also create a mission-oriented marriage—one that invites others into the beauty of living a faith-filled life. For them, sharing their faith with their future spouse is about growing together and supporting one another in living out their values.

Keeping it Real

One of the most valuable moments in our discussion is Brock’s reminder to balance faith with friendship. While spiritual alignment is critical, he stresses the importance of genuine friendship and enjoying each other’s company, ensuring that relationships are founded on love that feels both real and inspiring.

Traditional Values with a Modern Twist

We touch on the sometimes controversial topic of traditional gender roles, and Brock and Anders provide a nuanced perspective. They value the balance of supporting their partner’s dreams while embracing the roles that feel natural and fulfilling for both parties.

Final Thoughts

As we wrap up the episode, Brock and Anders encourage women to be proactive in their search for a partner—reminding them to put themselves out there while being guided by their faith and values. Their candid, heartfelt advice is enriching for anyone navigating the world of Catholic dating.
