It is an opportunity to hear the feelings and emotions of your beloved and respect them with great love. When your innermost feelings are respected and understood, you feel loved; you feel worthy. Not only that, but it fortifies the unity between you and gives more foundation foryour conjugal spiritualty to grow. It takes about 20-30 minutes altogether, but can be broken up. There are a couple parts to the Dialogue and then, when complete, you can segue to a discussion, if you want. A) Begin by Asking a question.For example, let’s use: “What was one of my favorite dates with you? How do I feel about my answer?”And you write this at the top of the page.B) Write a letter to your beloved. Writing a letter gives you time to explain how you answer thatquestion. C) Define the feeling. After writing the letter, take time to understand your own feelings.You can write this directly under your letter.1. I feel about . On the next couple pages are lists of feeling words that can give us more of a vocabulary to articulate exactly how we feel. 2. Physical Sensation: If my feelingwere a physical sensation it would be like .Briefly explain the sensation. Forexample, “nervous” might feel like butterflies in your stomach. 3. Intensity 1 – 10. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest, my feeling is a . 4. Color. My feeling is the color of .Although this can be trickier if you are not a visual person, just give it go—you may surprise yourself! 5. Using one of the five senses. Myfeeling is like . 6. Shared Memory: My feeling is like when we . D) Exchanging/ reading the letters.Exchange your letters and then read your spouse’s letter twice. Yes, that’s right: twice. You read it once with your head and then, once with your heart. E) Sharing the letters.Then take turns going over what each person wrote, one at a time. You share with your spouse what you understood from what your spouse has written. The point of this is to demonstrate that you have fully understood what your beloved wrote (not to argue ordiscuss!). To assure that you have understood, you will end your turn of the sharing by asking: “have I fully understood how you feel?” Once the first person feels they have been understood, you move to the other’s letter. F) Post-dialogue. When you have both felt understood, the dialogue is over. What is most important is that this be a time when you are not feeling attacked, but both feel fully understood and fully loved.

  • Celebrating St. John Paul II! & Big News from Dublin & Krakow!

    Celebrating St. John Paul II! & Big News from Dublin & Krakow!
    2026/10/21

    Today, we celebrate the eve of St. John Paul II's feast day! Reflecting on his life and the indelible mark he left on many of us, as Peter shares, "He was the Pope of our lives."

    Pope St. John Paul II's life was marked by personal suffering, yet he embraced a life of love.

    We reflect on the emergence of the JP2 Generation, a groupinspired by his teachings and writings. As Peter notes, "There’s a whole generation of priests who would say, ‘I’m here because of him.’" This movement is revitalizing interest in his teachings, particularly regarding marriage and family life.

    In a world where sexual intimacy is often misrepresented, St. John Paul II's teachings remind us of its sacredness. He guided us toward understanding sexual desire within the divine plan, avoiding the pitfalls of objectification that are prevalent in today’s culture.

    Finally, we reflect on how St. John Paul II's legacy continues as we announce an exciting endeavor to bring his Rule to Ireland and back to Krakow!

    In this episode of the Love That Lasts podcast, Peter and Theresa Martin sit down with Satveer and Dee Chaudhary, who share their inspiring story of faith and friendship and learning about St. John Paul II's Rule - that has all significantly impacted their marriage, which is a journey of continual conversion.

    Dee shares about authentic Catholic friendship: "It's not just about socializing; it opens up avenues for learning and growth."

    A pivotal moment in their journey was when Satveer joined the Exodus 90 men's group, which he reflects, "It was the moment when God met me where I was. I knew I needed something to add back to my life." This turning point not only strengthened his faith and brought him into the Catholic Church, but also enriched his marriage, leading to deeper connections with Dee and a more profound spiritual journey together.

    Hear this fascinating story and how they ended up at a Cana Dinner - not even at their own parish, on a snowy, winter night - to hear Peter & Theresa share St. John Paul II's unique vision for marriage with the Rule ... and what happened next ...
