I recently stumbled across some questions from Catholic mothers asking how their peers were handling their obligations and duties as a wife when they are eyeballs deep in the vocation of motherhood. Questions like “How are you able to be available to your husband when you’re touched out at the end of the day?” and “How can I be more open to my husband?”

So Pat joins me on Episode 160 of The Catholic Mama podcast to answer these questions with a well-developed foundation in purpose of marriage and of the conjugal act as defined in the Catholic Catechism of the Council of Trent (you can read the excerpts of the catechism here).

Download the episode below or listen to it on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play or anywhere you normally access podcasts. The Catholic Mama is there! 

Also! I just launched The Domestic Church, a monthly membership that helps busy Catholic moms and dads enjoy guided spiritual readings through a unique virtual book club, plan a minimalist feast day celebration, and request a spiritual bouquet. Just $10 a month, this patreon-like membership will help The Catholic Mama continue to reach more Catholics seeking to deepen their faith. Learn more and sign up HERE!
