Question: The Prayer Life of Spouses (6:51)

Hi Father Josh! Thank you for your podcast! It's been such a blessing to me. We often hear that spouses that pray together are better off and have a stronger relationship. How would you encourage a couple to live this out if one spouse isn't interested in praying and is even more uncomfortable sharing about their spiritual life?

Saint Story: St. Nicholas (14:54)

St. Nicholas was born in the Asia Minor and was the only child of his parents. He was raised in a very devout home and was a student of the faith from an early age. Sadly, his parents passed away while he was still young. He was left a sizable inheritance and was brought under the care of his uncle the Bishop of Patara.

Nicholas used his inheritance for good purposes such as secretly providing the dowry for three young women whose father was going to give them over to prostitution. This is only one example of the charity that Nicholas showed throughout his life.

Nicholas was eventually made a bishop. He was present at the Council of Nicea and spoke strongly against Arianism. He also spoke very strongly against paganism throughout his time as a bishop.

St. Nicholas is an incredible example of charity, faithfulness and fortitude. St. Nicholas, pray for us!
