Fear of consummating marriage

Break 1

Son is experiencing anxiety

Break 2

Cohabitation and fear of divorce

Doug explores two very different perspectives on marital intimacy. On one side is a young woman who is terrified of consummating her marriage. On the other is a couple who is cohabitating because they fear divorce.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Connie - I have been married for 30 years and debate whether divorce is an option. We have three adult kids and my husband is an alcoholic. (10:09)
Anne - Commenting on the 30-year marriage. My marriage is similar because my husband was an alcoholic. It's been prayer and trusting God that has helped. I prayed for many years. (23:13)
Marina - My 24-year-old son is experiencing anxiety. He's very fragile right now. How can I help him? (26:49)
Jessica - Does the Church intend to marry people who want a Josephite marriage? (38:24)
