Mistakes Equal Marriage Growth

from The Catholic Couple Hosted by Bobby and Katie Fredericksen

In this heartfelt and hope-filled episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we sit down with internationally acclaimed Italian journalist and author Costanza Miriano to discuss her newest book from Sophia Institute Press, Blessed Is the Day We Got It Wrong. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “failing” at marriage, this conversation will set your heart free. Costanza invites us into a refreshingly honest vision of marriage—one where mistakes aren’t signs of failure but sacred opportunities for grace, humility, and deeper unity. Drawing from the wisdom in her book, she reminds us that marriage isn’t a project we master but a lifelong journey where two imperfect people learn, fall, rise, and grow together with God’s help. In this episode we explore: Why a “perfect marriage” doesn’t exist—and that’s good news How God uses our failures to teach us how to “get it right” The beauty of forgiveness, surrender, sacrifice, and starting again Why the world misunderstands marriage success How couples can transform conflict into communion The power of choosing love—especially on the days we get it wrong Costanza’s joyful, grounded, distinctly Catholic perspective on love and married life will inspire you to see your relationship in a new light: not as something to perfect, but as something to continually renew through grace. If you and your spouse want to grow closer—not by avoiding mistakes, but by learning from them—this is the episode to watch. Because in God’s hands, even the messiest moments can become miracles. https://linktr.ee/bobbyfred85 Purposelycatholic.com
