Waiting vs. Searching for a Spouse: What’s Right? (with Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio)
Ask Father Josh (Your Catholic Question and Answer Podcast)Show Notes
What is the right way to find your future spouse? As Catholics, it can feel like a battle between waiting/trusting in God’s plan and taking action. This battle often comes up in the search for a spouse. Do I simply pray for my future spouse and wait for them to come to me? Or, do I need to join every dating site and find him myself? Fr. Josh Johnson is joined by Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio to discuss whether or not there is a “right” way to find your future spouse.
