Why Aren't Catholics Getting Married?

Did you know that in the USA there are a growing number of Catholics but a decrease in the number of Catholic marriages? In today’s episode, we talk about why this is a crucial mission moment for the Church, and how we can invite couples to bring Christ into their marriages. We also define terms such as “convalidation” and “civil marriage” and what it means to be in a “valid Catholic marriage”. Are you a couple who has gone through the convalidation and/or the annulment process and would like to share the fruit that has come from that experience? We would love to hear your story.
