About 2 1/2 years ago I met my amazing fiancé. We are getting married in October and I can not wait to star our married life together and our family together. When we met he was completely against the Catholic faith and said do not force that upon me. I told him I would not and we left it at that. I will admit I had started to gravitate back toward the church at this time but that was enough for me to pull back. As we started preparing for our wedding he became more open to Catholicism. We started our prep at my church and sat and talked with my priest and learned what we needed to do. I learned that my fiancé ( I guess you might want to know his name, it is Blaine) had not been baptized at all. This was a shock to me but did not make me think anything less of him. We went through our mandatory classes and he began to open up to the faith and ask questions. He is the one that started say hey are we going to church today? Talk about a shock! But my heart was rejoicing I knew this is what we needed as a couple and will help us have an even stronger marriage when we make God the center of our marriage.
Well tonight we had a great conversation about Mass and the parts of mass and what certain Traditions mean and why we do them. I will admit I surprised myself and could just rattle off answers. Being able to talk about my faith and bringing myself back to the church the last few months has been an amazing journey so far and I can't wait to see where it will all go. The conversation tonight sparked a fire in me that I am ready to let burn. I bought a book by Scott Hon we are going to read together to help him to better understand the faith. We are also going to start praying together. I am so excited and on fire that I can not wait to see where this road takes us and the journey we are embarking on as a couple, as a family.
God Bless
