Fr. Dave Heney joins Patrick to discuss Marriage

• (3:23) What is Marriage defined by the Church?
• What is the matter and form of marriage?
• (18:12) Shana - My husband and I married 33 years. Married in American Catholic Church not Roman. I just wanted to share what we've been through now as we pursue to get the sacrament in the Roman Catholic Church.

(22:01) Break 1

• (23:50) John - My wife and I are Catholic. 3 kids. Want Father's perspective on the whole idea on holding off and practicing NFP.  Having the 3rd was challenging...wife had postpartum depression.
• Barbara - We have to work to fortify our marriage and strength in the Lord as time goes on.  Worked in the Diocese of Phoenix in marriage prep for over 13 years.
• (30:51) Maria - I was baptized in the church and married in the church. Husband died last year. I am now single. I have a suitor who is Maronite Catholic. As a Roman Catholic, I can get married in an Eastern Church. How does that work between Roman and Maronite Catholic church? Is it possible for a couple to married sacramentally?
• John - Married 45 years. We're called to suffer. Could marriage be source of suffering?  Not trying to be disrespectful.

(37:46) Break 2

• (39:41) James - Wife is in process of divorcing me. How do I maintain the marital relationship, the love for her, when she keeps pushing me away and says she doesn't want to be with me? In a sacramental marriage?
• Maria - Question regarding children who are living together. How should I advise them. Should I tell them to get married or tell them they shouldn't live together? They have a 2.5 year old child.
