Gotta Date Well: A Podcast Series for Catholics

This episode is part 3 of the Gotta Date Well Series, where we dive deep into how to date with Christ at the center.

Guest Introduction

On this episode, I am joined by my wife, Meredith Gotta. We dive into why praying together is important, what it should look like, and how it can strengthen a relationship.

Episode Summary

Praying together while dating is an essential practice for couples who want to grow spiritually and discern their relationship with God at the center. In this episode, we discuss:

• Before Dating: The importance of having a personal prayer life before entering a relationship, and how that foundation set the tone for our dating journey.
• Early Stages: We share how our mutual faith made it easier to pray together early in our relationship, and how natural (or not) it felt at the beginning.
• Discernment: How prayer helped us discern throughout our relationship and led to greater vulnerability.
• Sticky Questions: We address what a healthy prayer life should look like within a relationship and how to navigate preconceived notions about praying together.
• Practical Advice: Guidance for couples who don’t share the same faith, and advice for those in relationships where one person may not have a faith life at all.

Through our personal story, we hope to provide encouragement and practical steps for couples looking to strengthen their relationship through prayer.
