Catholic Connection – Feb 2, 2024 – Hr 1
Teresa catches up with Dana Nygaard on the Good News Cruise. She is the author of “365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage.” We also visit with Michael Timmis for “The Journey to Ultimate Friendship.”
Segment 1 – Intro and “365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage”
“365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage” is “a Catholic marriage enrichment book written by a Catholic, LPC. This book nourishes Christian marriages one date at a time.” Relationships usually begin with excitement and butterflies in your stomach. We hang on to our partner’s every word and can hardly stand to be apart. But this ‘romantic intoxication’ slowly fades and we lose the urgent sense of wanting to know them. We settle into complacency and allow our busyness to become an idol. 365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage will help you.
