Break 2

Don't you trust me?

Fr. Rob Ryan and Fr. John LoCoco join Doug to discuss an upcoming singles night at St. Benedict Catholic Church in Chicago. Doug also talks about the challenges of dating and what to look for in a future spouse.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Lisa - If you are a female, go to where the men are: the lakes, the beach and hiking. (21:12)
Bobby - It’s hard to tell a spouse you don’t like who they hang around with because you might be suggesting they are similar to that group. They might say 'you don’t trust me?' (39:20)
Elma - Is it ok to date a widower of only one month? (42:30)
Maureen - I used to be a professional matchmake. For Catholics: what a great time to check out the singles at confession. (46:45)
