Rather than bewail the emasculating forces at work on husbands, in this episode, I offer several things for Catholic married men to do to reclaim a healthy sense of masculinity.

This episode is for any man who would like to be more competent and confident at running a beautiful, evangelical home (and for the women married to such men).

Marriage only really makes sense when both spouses enter it believing that life is worth living, sharing, and multiplying. If any one of those points are lost, marriage becomes a whole lot less sensical...

There's a bit of common wisdom that your spouse should be your best friend, so it's worth taking a few minutes and asking what kind of friend we are to each other!

Chesterton famously wrote, "Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair." It's a great quote-- and Joseph twists it up a bit for this episode.

Rather than hoping things just get better, or hoping that improvements will happen by way of unthinking passion, maybe we should spend a little more time and energy thinking about our marriages and what we can do to better them!

Ever feel like marriage is a bit like a see-saw-- one spouse has to descend for the other to ascend? One spouse has to do worse for another to do better? One person's slice of pie has to be smaller for the other's to be larger? (Granted, that last one is true for literal pies...)

It's a weird idea, and horribly destructive, and yet...sometimes, even Joseph thinks that way. And we don't have to.

On the day we die, we pass through our particular judgment. If we're married, have we considered how important how we love our spouse is to who we become?

What we say and how we say it makes the world we live in. Starting with how we dialogue with God, and moving on to how we talk to our spouse, our whole world is colored by our speech.

If you're worried about the state of the culture, remember that you are the culture. You and your spouse get to create a whole way of life, and get to share it with others, too.

This episode is inspired by a talk by Anton Colella at a recent Catholic leadership summit that Joseph went to.

For Catholics, the definition of marriage is a pretty set thing-- and that's freeing! It means that God's grace is operative to help us pursue the ends of marriage with our spouse!

Traditionally, there are three ends of sacrament of matrimony-- conjugal fidelity, procreation/education of children, and the permanence of the sacrament. There's a minimalist approach to them, and a maximalist approach (we recommend aiming for maximalist...).
