Episode #75: Fr. Thomas Morrow on Overcoming Anger in Relationships


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Fr. Thomas Morrow, a Catholic priest, theologian, and author whose expertise in marriage and family has helped countless couples build stronger, more resilient relationships. With a Doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pope John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family and decades of pastoral experience, Fr. Morrow brings both scholarly wisdom and practical insight to the challenges modern couples face.

From his bestselling work on overcoming sinful anger to his latest book Marriage for God's Sake, Fr. Morrow understands that lasting relationships require more than good intentions—they demand understanding, sacrifice, and the willingness to confront our own weaknesses head-on.

I'll walk you through:

✅ The hidden ways anger sabotages even the strongest marriages and how to recognize its patterns

✅ Why modern relationship advice often misses the mark on commitment and sacrifice

✅ Practical tools for navigating conflict without destroying connection

✅ How understanding marriage as a vocation transforms the way we approach partnership

✅ The role of forgiveness and humility in keeping love alive through life's inevitable challenges

✅ Why addressing our own character flaws is the secret to becoming better partners

Whether you're struggling with recurring conflicts in your relationship, trying to balance the demands of business ownership with showing up for your partner, or simply wanting to deepen your understanding of what makes marriages thrive, Fr. Morrow offers time-tested wisdom that speaks to both the spiritual and practical dimensions of love.

🔔 Remember: Great relationships aren't built on avoiding problems—they're built on having the courage and tools to work through them together.
