The case of an abandoned spouse 

What does it mean to be joined together in matrimony? What is the difference between natural and sacramental marriage? Fr. Robert Altier joins Doug to tackle these questions and more.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Robert - If the wife concealed the fact that she was infertile, is that grounds for an annulment? (12:45)

Patrick - What does the Church think about prenuptials? Does the Church frown on that? (29:21)
George - Two people are 70. Can they be married if they cannot consummate the marriage? They are open to adoption. (34:58)
