Hi, guys —

I am currently converting to Catholicism. My husband says he believes in God but refuses to go to any church. My faith in God seems to irritate him and my lifestyle changes irritate him as well.

  • Will we be able to make this marriage work?

My Christianity has really bothered him.

Thanks,

Mary

Dear Mary —

No one can foretell the future.

However, you may be a candidate for the Pauline Privilege, which dissolves a marriage, should you wish, so that you can practice your faith in peace, and marry someone who will be at peace with your faith.

Mary Ann
