66: Do I Make Time for My Spouse?

When was the last time we went on an exclusive date as husband and wife? How often do we make time for each other as husband and wife? Exclusively, without our kids around? We discuss why it is imperative that spouses make time for each other on a regular basis, for the sake of our marriage, for the sake of our kids, for the sake of our family.

Interview: Forming Families, Forming Saints

How can parents help their children grow in faith and virtue? What are the foundational pillars of formation that can support our children on this journey? What can Catholic parents in mixed marriages do to carry out their mission in this area? We interview Rev Fr Carter Griffin, rector of St. John Paul II Seminary in Washington, D.C, and author of the book "Forming Families, Forming Saints". He shares rich insights from his book, drawing from his decades of pastoral experience, the Church's perennial wisdom, and the lives of the saints to bring us a practical guide for raising happy, healthy, and holy children amidst the challenges faced by many parents today.

64: Am I Speaking My Spouse's Love Language?

One of the challenges married couples face, especially in the earlier years of marriage, is to understand and speak the language of love that our spouse identifies more strongly with. After all, how each of us expresses and perceives love, our so-called language of love, can be, and often is, quite different from that of our spouse. This can easily give rise to misunderstandings and frustrations. We explore how couples can seek to understand, and speak, their spouse’s love language, based on the 5 languages of love by Dr Gary Chapman. Check out this link to discover your language of love (and your spouse too). https://5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/love-language Learn more about Catholic Parents Online at www.catholicparents.online #marriage #catholicparenting #catholicparentsonline

63: Who Comes First – My Child or My Spouse?

Marriage is the foundation of our family. The stronger our marriage, the more we love one another, the better we can give our children a stable, positive and nurturing environment to flourish in. In other words, stronger marriage, stronger family, happier children. Unfortunately, many parents focus so much on their children that they tend to forget to work on their relationship with their spouse, often to the detriment of their marriage, and subsequently their family and yes, paradoxically, their children as well. This episode begins a series dedicated to improving our marital relationship, so that, strengthened by each other in God's love, we will be even more empowered to love our children better.

62: Gender Theory – Why Does the Church Say What It Says?

Often, the Catholic Church has been caricatured by the secular media as an organisation that is out of touch with modernity, perhaps none more so than in the area of gender theory. But what has the Church actually said on the topic? And why? What's the big deal about being male and female? Why did God make us that way? What should we make of Gender Ideology? How should we regard those who experience gender dysphoria? Why is it that only men can become priests? To help clear some of the confusion, we discuss why the Church says what she says in this area.

61: Intersex? Understanding Disordered Sex Development

One of the reasons given to justify the position that sex is not binary, that is, either male or female, is the presence of so-called "intersex" conditions. These are rare situations when babies have atypical genitalia, or when boys and girls have chromosome or hormone variations, which leads to challenges in easily classifying them as male or female. However, the term "Intersex" is, more often than not, misunderstood. The collective and more medically accurate terminology is Disorder of Sex Development (or DSD). We explore the medical issues underlying DSD, whereby certain rare disorders of sex development can cause some individuals to not exhibit the full features of one sex or the other. We discuss why understanding this issue better helps us affirm the fact that sex is really binary, that is, male and female, in the first place.

Interview: When My Child Says She's Trans

Approaching gender theory as a concept is totally different from approaching the person who experiences gender dysphoria, often in a very painful way. We interview Mr Nicholas Gabriel Lim, Psychologist, Counsellor and Legal Practitioner, who shares with us how we can journey with persons who experience gender dysphoria, in truth and in love.
