7 Things I've Learnt About Marriage 

Summary: 1: Your spouse is not God. You are not your spouse's saviour. 2: Communication is Key: ask for forgiveness. 3: Infidelity is evil 4: Don't let yourself go: You are a temple of the Holy Spirit - look like it. 5: Never speak badly about your spouse. 6: Your marriage won't be perfect. It won't be like someone else's marriage. 7: The marital debt is a real thing 8: Get to the sacraments and pray together

I also have to pluck lol! PCOS is not fun. I’ve struggled a lot with feeling attractive and it wasn’t until I started treating myself like I was that things changed for me mentally. 100%, be your healthiest. Dress nice and treat your body nice.

Loved this ! 🥹

If I get married, I'll keep this in mind!

I came late but congratulations for your marriage anniversary! God bless you!

So, looking at some of the comments, it sounds like our marriage prep within the Catholic church is lacking in some areas. I've been married for 17 years, and it was only within the last 5 maybe that I learned the teaching of the "marital debt" and sinfulness for refusing the marital debt to your spouse. Initially I found this bizarre, it's so very foreign in our society and time in which we live. However, I do find that Fr. Ripperger does a decent explanation of this. His whole series on marriage is based on traditional Catholic teaching, so much of it may sound counter-cultural. Old published examinations of conscience have quite explicit sins listed, including refusing a reasonable request to render the marriage debt. Onanism is another accepted practice amongst some Catholics, which is also considered grave sin. For those interested in the conference on marriage by Fr. Ripperger (who is an exorcist, and excellent source on Thomistic Theology, and psychology, I highly recommend him); I will link the RU-vid videos in order in subsequent comments. Thank you Cameron for bringing this topic to light. I think Fr. Ripperger would be an excellent guest on Matt's Pints with Aquinas. Maybe you can drop that suggestion? 😉

Fantastic, thank you for sharing!

Happy anniversary u guys . Love what you have to say Cameron. And your face does look less puffy like you said would be one of the good side effects of your new diet.. looking great :)

It seems like a lot of these things are only possible if you have extra spending money. (Buying a new dress, hiring a sitter, going to a spa etc...) I know Cameron and Matt are from a different class, but sometimes the advice involving spending just gets annoying. :/

I have to comment on #4. My husband comes from a family where appearance is over done and he is totally not into it. He does not care if I wear sweat pants and baggy t-shirts all the time. I have been wearing them now for 2 years and let myself go because of pregnancy/child's 1st year of life and also Covid so I was very isolated and didn't get out at all. You are right, even though my husband doesn't care, I care. I need to feel like I deserve the effort to look good. I need to feel like I can invest time/money/effort into myself to feel good about myself and have some excitement for my day and life. It is so mentally terrible to let yourself go because for me it means neglecting my needs/wants to give to kids/husband/house. It just doesn't work long term for a happy healthy marriage and family.

why do ladies always have to squeeze in a little statement about how much they're actually more like a man than other women? And they all just so happen to be a tomboy or "like one of the guys" (no other women always say that or think they're the only ones!) Is there even a such thing as a woman that thinks they're like a woman? Maybe it's just normal for women to have a variety of traits?? It's irritating.

Happy Anniversary!!!^_^❤ I asked my mom for advice to prepare me for marriage but she said just do it😂🤣 This will be helpful for me. Thank you so much!😊❤

Happy anniversary and many blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. I wish we can be friends 🍷🙏🏼

Happy Anniversary! My husband and I celebrate our 14th anniversary on the 25th! Thanks for this video, everything you said is such great advice and so true!

Would you and Matt consider doing a couple's Q & A?

This was SOO good! I’ve been married for a sweet year and a half 🥹🥹 taking these nuggets to my marriage!! Thank you So much for sharing Cameron!

Happy Anniversary! May God bless your family and marriage. My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary on August 8. Thank you for your video!!

Happy Anniversary! It will be 27 years with my husband this October!

Happy anniversary! 😊 Cameron you are so refreshing to listen to! 🎶 Thank you for sharing with us!

#4 is great for when you wanna come out of that postpartum slump and finally reconnect with him but feel strangely distant. Reconnect to yourself first! Make yourself feel beautiful and sexy and then trust in the process. ❤

Thank you. Your opening up and sharing really helps!! I am excited to put into action your points. God bless you❤

Congratulations! Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! 🌷

The pearls make you look like Kimberley Hahn

wait whoa whoa whoa no no no no. Sounds like an abusive relationship. Get a divorce immediately from someone who "has to look for love somewhere else" if you say no to having sex no matter what. That's as dumb as people saying they have to be allowed to do something because they were born that way. That's your own bad choice. Don't be so demanding. Does not sound like a happy or normal relationship. This is not only wrong but actually really terrible advice
