How To Pray with Your Spouse, feat. Deacon Jim Keating, PhD

from The Tangent on Veritas Catholic Network · host Veritas Catholic Network

When you pray with another you open yourself before them and before God. The real intimacy & vulnerability that requires makes it one of the most worthwhile acts spouses can do together. It can also make it really difficult. That’s why Fr. Sam and I sat down with Deacon James Keating PhD to discuss his new book Spousal Prayer: A Way to Marital Happiness.  Deacon James answered plenty of our questions,  How should spouses pray together?  What if one spouse doesn’t want to pray with the other?  How does personal healing affect spousal prayer?  How can Spouses practically mimic Christ’s spousal love for the Church?  All this plus a story about my son wanting to bring balloons to Mass (don’t worry, we didn’t).  Thanks for listening to this week’s episode of the Tangent!  In Christ,  Matt Sperrazza  Co-Host of the Tangent
