Being in a Catholic relationship has been such a gift
I never realized how much of a blessing it would be to be in a relationship with someone who genuinely helps me get closer to God.
Being with someone who is Catholic, takes the faith seriously, and actually encourages me to seek God more has been one of the best things that has happened to me. It’s such a different kind of peace to be with someone I can truly imagine receiving the sacrament of Matrimony with one day.
He doesn’t just “respect my faith” from a distance. He lives it too. That has made such a huge difference in my life. It’s a beautiful feeling when the person you love doesn’t pull you away from God, but instead helps bring you closer to Him.
Of course no relationship is perfect, and I know feelings alone are never enough to sustain one. But I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this. It has been such a good thing in my life, and I genuinely thank God for it.
If anyone here is hoping for marriage one day, I really do recommend seeking someone who truly wants God and is serious about the faith. Having someone beside you who encourages you toward God instead of away from Him is such a gift.
