Be One of the 99 to Join Me

I made the first donation to this campaign myself. Now we need ninety-nine more people to join me. Our goal is simple. We want 100 Catholics to step forward with a $10 monthly gift or a one-time donation of any amount by the end of Giving Tuesday 2025 on December 2.

Since relaunching as a nonprofit this fall, the Apostolate for Marital Intimacy has been working hard to build something faithful, beautiful, and needed. We have published new articles, produced new videos, served clients through coaching, offered free moral consultations to those who were lost or confused, and responded to readers who reached out for help. We have done all of this while working through serious hurdles. We are committed to producing high-quality formation and guidance for Catholic marriages, and to offering as much as possible at no cost to readers.

But we cannot do this alone. This apostolate depends on the support of the people who believe in our mission.

Every time we talk about this work in ordinary conversation, the response is the same. People are surprised that they have never heard of the apostolate before. That is my fault. I am good at writing, teaching, and working with couples. I am not good at social media. I do not enjoy self-promotion or the constant grind of online visibility. We have not gone viral. We have not broken the internet. We do not have brand deals or corporate sponsors. We do not receive grant money. We simply show up and do the best we can with the gifts God has given us.

If our work has helped you, please support us so we can keep going. Your decision to donate keeps these articles, videos, and resources free for the couples who cannot afford coaching or who feel too ashamed to ask for help. Your support strengthens a Catholic mission that is quietly serving marriages that others overlook.

Share our content with your friends. Many of you are in Catholic women’s groups (Catholic Wife Life on Facebook comes immediately to mind!), parenting groups, or marriage support groups online. I am not in these groups myself, but I hear about them constantly from my wife and from the Catholic women we serve. They describe the shame and confusion that come from uncharitable or uninformed conversations about intimacy and Church teaching. Many spaces online are full of armchair theologians whose confident but shallow opinions only add to the pain that couples are already carrying.

When you share our articles or videos, you can cut through that noise. You can give someone clarity where they only had confusion. You can help them find truth where they only received judgment. You can be the reason a couple steps back from the edge of despair and begins to heal. You may prevent a divorce. You may protect children from long-term wounds. You may help a family rebuild trust and holiness.

We went from just coexisting to meeting each other again, and now we’re living with a renewed sense of purpose.
— Whitney D.

Every donor matters. Every monthly gift strengthens the mission. Every share brings this apostolate to someone who needs it and has nowhere else to turn.

Help us reach 100 donors by December 2. Help us build an apostolate that can bring faithful and fulfilling romance back into Catholic marriages. Your support makes it possible for us to continue this work with integrity, fidelity, and hope.

Thank you for believing in this mission.
