A Simple Way to Invite Your Spouse Closer to God (Family Rosary Across America)

On the Family Rosary Across America, Sylvia from Fresno called in to share a heartfelt struggle many spouses understand. She prays the rosary three times a day and is deeply in love with the Lord and Our Blessed Mother. Her husband, who entered the Catholic Church three years ago, believes but doesn’t express devotion in the same way she does. Between the demands of military life and his quiet approach to faith, Sylvia feels a little hurt and wonders how to help him grow closer to God. Fr. Rocky’s response was a simple one: he asked what Sylvia’s husband likes to eat. When Sylvia explained that her South Korean and Hispanic husband does the cooking, Fr. Rocky offered a gentle strategy. Affirm the good he already does. Receive his gifts with gratitude. Then, in that moment of warmth, invite him: “Let’s go to church,” and thank God together for the blessings of your home. The takeaway is simple but powerful: love often moves the heart before arguments ever do. If someone’s faith looks different than yours, start with appreciation, patience, and prayer. The smallest invitation wrapped in gratitude can become the beginning of something deeper.
