Money is a constant presence in married life — not as an abstract idea, but as food, rent, plans, and responsibility. In this episode of Catholic Husband, I reflect on the tension between providing for a family and slowly becoming consumed by money.

Drawing from Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, I explore how money can be a real expression of care, while also competing quietly for loyalty, attention, and trust. This is not an episode about budgeting or financial advice, but about noticing how money shapes interior life and relationships.

If you’ve ever felt torn between responsibility and anxiety, provision and obsession, this reflection is an invitation to pause and pay attention.

Marriage is often described as a place where we grow together, support each other, and become better people. But influence inside marriage is not always simple or automatically good.

In this episode of *Catholic Husband*, I reflect on how spouses shape each other over time — sometimes toward virtue, and sometimes by quietly reinforcing weaknesses already present. Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and a literary reflection on *Macbeth*, I explore how love can both elevate and distort, often without intention.

This is not an episode about blame or solutions, but about awareness — noticing how deeply love forms us, and how careful we may need to be with the influence we share.

Marriage is often treated as something we simply fall into, rather than a vocation that shapes who we become.

In this episode of Catholic Husband, I reflect on the idea of marriage as a true vocation — not a path to comfort, but a path to holiness. Drawing from Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, I explore what changes when marriage is understood as a calling that forms patience, sacrifice, and love over time.

This episode is not about marriage advice or techniques, but about rethinking what marriage is for, and how difficulty and struggle can take on meaning when seen through the lens of vocation.

If you’ve ever wondered whether marriage was really discerned, or struggled with the gap between expectations and reality, this reflection is for you.
