Blessed Easter.

This is the season of renewal. The season where Our Lord brings life out of death, hope out of suffering, and restoration where things once seemed lost. That reality applies not just spiritually, but in our marriages as well.

I wanted to take a moment to share a few important updates with you.

A Mass for You and Your Marriage

Today, Mass is being offered for your intentions.

For your marriage.
For your struggles.
For your healing.

You are not alone in what you are facing. And you are being prayed for.

Thank You for Your Support

First, I want to say thank you.

To everyone who has stepped up and supported this mission through donations, your generosity is already making a real impact.

Right now, we are at $730.82/month in recurring support.

That has allowed us to:

• Maintain our platforms

• Support our team

• Set aside time to create content like what you’re about to see

That matters more than you might realize.

Where We’re Going and What It Takes

Our goal is to reach $2,240/month.

This number is not arbitrary. It reflects our actual operating needs.

As a nonprofit, we do not operate on credit. What comes in is what we have to work with. That means your support has a direct and immediate impact on what we are able to produce and how quickly we can get it to you.

When funding increases:

• We create more content

• We release it faster

• We expand into new resources (like examinations of conscience and parish materials)

• We increase the time our team can dedicate to this work

When it doesn’t, our hands are tied.

Your support truly helps us lay the foundation for a Catholic renewal in marital intimacy.

A Major Writing Push: 25 New Articles

Over the past stretch, I completed a major writing push.

We now have 25 new articles ready to go.

These are not surface-level topics. These are the real struggles couples are facing right now, addressed directly, faithfully, and practically.

What These Articles Cover

Mental Health and Intimacy

We are addressing areas that are often ignored in Catholic conversations:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Depression

• Anxiety

• ADHD

• Autism

• Borderline Personality Disorder

• Postpartum depression

These are some of the most common and least talked about realities affecting intimacy in marriage today.

Healing and Difficult Situations

We’re tackling:

• Infidelity and rebuilding trust

• Painful sex

• Chronic pain

• Sexual avoidance

Topics that many couples feel alone in, but shouldn’t.

Real-Life Seasons of Marriage

Because your marriage changes over time:

• Postpartum recovery

• The nursing season

• Menopause

• Physical disabilities

Your intimacy is not over in these seasons. It just needs to be understood and approached differently.

Desire Differences and Communication

We’re addressing the tension many couples feel:

• Low libido

• Mismatched desire

• Frequency questions

• Feeling pressured or rejected

Practical Sexual Guidance

Clear, actionable guidance on:

• How to initiate without awkwardness or rejection

• How to shift to a “her-first” approach

• How to build anticipation and connection

• How to actually turn your wife on

Formation and Mindset

Because how you think about sex matters:

• The purpose of pleasure in marriage

• Healing from chastity culture

• Letting go of unhealthy expectations

When These Are Coming Out

These articles will be released over the coming months.

Typically, we publish on Mondays and Thursdays, though that may vary. And this is just the beginning. We have more content coming from our team as well.

Stay Connected: Join the Newsletter

If you want to stay up to date as these are released, the best thing you can do is join our newsletter.

That’s how we’ll let you know when new articles drop and keep you connected to what we’re building.

Want Early Access? Join Patreon

If you don’t want to wait months to read these, you don’t have to.

Our blog editor is already posting these articles early on Patreon.

That means you can get access weeks or even months in advance.

A Final Invitation: Help Make This Possible

Again, we are deeply grateful for the support we’ve already received.

But to continue this work at the level it needs to be done, we need to keep moving toward our goal of $2,240/month.

This is what determines:

• How quickly these articles are released

• What new resources we can create

• How much time our team can dedicate to helping marriages

Your support makes this possible.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for supporting this mission.
And again, Blessed Easter.
