Dr. Aaron Kheriaty on suffering

The Blessed Mother's path of suffering

Meditating on the passion of Jesus

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty joins Doug for a discussion on suffering in marriage and how we can navigate it with faith and grace. Together, they reflect on the Blessed Virgin Mary as the ultimate model of embracing suffering, exploring how her example can teach us to endure life's hardships with patience, humility, and trust in God.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Araceli - How should I approach a situation where one person in our family has experienced a miscarriage and another person has chosen to have an abortion? How do I explain the difference? (16:07)
Rita - I've personally experienced six miscarriages. A miscarriage is a spontaneous loss, not a choice or something the mother causes. An abortion involves a deliberate decision to end a pregnancy. They are two very different experiences, and it's important to recognize that distinction. (27:53)

Healing from past sexual trauma

Husband left and wants a separation 

A marriage saved

Abortion did not heal our marriage

Wife does not desire intimacy

Doug goes to the mailbag discussing separation and abortion as the wrong way to go about trying to heal a marriage.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Julie - My parents separated briefly, and it definitely affected me. They eventually got back together, but that generation didn’t know how to communicate or work through problems. They just swept things under the rug. (10:07)
Emma - We got back together after 12 years of alcoholism. He got sober because he wanted to save our marriage. What pushed him to AA was me saying, “I’m not coming back.” He passed away 25 years ago, and we had 17 wonderful years together with him sober. (19:38)
Lucia - After having two boys, I felt the same way. My doctor advised me to just do it, reminding me that the less you do it, the less you want to. It worked! Physical intimacy helps maintain your spiritual connection. (44:28)
