What it means to be joined together

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? (12:22)
  • Susie – We were married by a protestant minister as non-practicing Catholics. What is the status of our marriage? (23:53)
  • Patrick – What does the Church think about prenuptials? Does the Church frown on that? (29:44)
  • George – Two people are 70. Can they be married if they cannot consummate the marriage? They are open to adopt. (35:55)
  • Richard – If mental illness is not diagnosed until after marriage, is the marriage valid? (39:19)
  • Amy – Is it true that someone who cannot conceive won’t be married by a priest? (41:34)
