Father Peter Armenio joins Patrick to discuss Marriage

  • (3:20) Is there a sacredness to marriage?
  • How does the trinity work with marriage?

(19:52) Break 1

  • Barbara – Would like to talk about Trinitarian part of marriage.  Married 50 years.
  • (31:26) Karen – Never give up and keep trying.  Married 61 years. Had plenty of struggles and made it.  3 retreats.  Marriage encounter and Retrouvaille.  Amazing marriage now. Off to Fatima at the end of month.

(35:03) Break 2

  • 11:45 Marie – I think a lot of couples miss the point…the sacrament of marriage.  It’s very important.  Didn’t get married in church right away and went through many problems compared to those who went through it the right way. Could have saved us a lot of problems.  Get it done right the first time.  Also, attend retreats.
  • ( 40:19) what does it mean to be open to life?
  • Mary – Married 62 years.  Parents were divorced.  When I was getting married, made a novena that ended on my wedding day that BVM would protect our marriage.  I attributed it to Mary.  4 children…1 miscarriage.
