Adventures in Imperfect Living Catholic Podcast

Walt's graduation brought up some interesting conversations with our son Ben, we ate a lot of tacos (and other junk), and ponder about the possibility of moving again (and how that would most likely destroy Jennifer).

Maybe your emotions are out of whack and uncontrollable from one day to the next. Maybe you feel like you totally missed your calling and purpose in life and now feel unsatisfied and frustrated with your job and finances and how you spend your time. Maybe your relationships feel like they’re on autopilot. Maybe you feel this overwhelming pressure building up inside of you that just doesn’t feel right.  It feels like it’s going to pop and something has to change.  But you’re not quite sure what.

Marriage Muscles Just like working out to build a better physique, the Sacrament of marriage also grows stronger when we exercise our marriage muscles. But it helps to have a solid understanding of what marriage is in the first place before you dive into trying to build up something you don't fully understand. For starters, marriage is a covenant relationship with God.  It's not a contract, as in an exchange of goods and services between two parties.  A covenant is a promise, a partnership for life only to be separated by death.  A covenant is establishing a partnership of the whole of life and by its nature is ordered toward the good of the spouses, toward procreation and education of offspring The reason for such an extreme definition of marriage is because marriage plays a key role in God’s plan of salvation.  The creation of man & woman is in God’s very image and likeness and God Himself is the author of marriage.  The vocation TO marriage is written into the natures of man and woman.  A healthy marriage contributes to the well-being of its family which contributes to the well-being of society and to all the individuals in it. Even cooler, marriages aren't just witnesses for other marriages.  Marriages are witnesses to all humanity of the everlasting covenant established by Jesus Christ. When man and woman give and receive love with each other in marriage, this mutual love is the image of how God loves man.   Designing Your Marriage In this episode we dive more deeply into how everyone - including single and widowed people, as well as religious, are affected and dependent upon marriage. Plus we discuss the core of what makes unexceptional marriages, and the four key steps to building marriage muscles.

When Greg Met Jennifer When Greg met Jennifer, we were both were somewhat lost. We'd gone through traumatic childhood events (that we talk about publicly for the first time on this episode). We'd had bad breakups and disappointments, as well as a few successes. But once we got married, nothing could prepare us for the unpredictability of the next two decades. Episode 222 is a perfect place for longtime listeners to revisit past stories, while also being a perfect episode for brand new listeners to the show. We walk you through the highlights and low period of our lives together, and hopefully leave you seeing more of the gift of your own life. If you've ever wanted to get your friends and family listening to Adventures in Imperfect Living, this may just be the episode to get them started! Also, as mentioned in the show, if you have a story or testimony of how any of our past programs or talks have had a positive impact on you or your marriage, we'd love it if you'd write a brief paragraph as a bit of an "endorsement" that we can use for an upcoming project.
