@@ACatholicWife In many countries around the world, home schooling aren't allowed. In Sweden, for example, there are no possibility to homeschool our children or attend the traditional Latin mass, only in a very limited way. Sweden among other secular countries hates the Catholic family model and the government destroys our religion and rights. One topic, due to what I wrote above, that I would love you to talk about, is your thoughts about how catholic trad families living In secular countries might consider to move to other countries where the government support catholic values. Is it worth moving, learning a new language, leave our homes behind to be able to follow the church teachings? Which step is necessary to do these secular days to protect onces families in the Catholic faith? Is it worth moving to another country to be able to attend the trad Latin mass (the one we love so deeply but hard to reach where we live)? And also moving so our faith can go from generation to generation, make it possible for our children to meet other Catholics ect. - another topic might be how to schedule a life of prayers and lectio divina across one week. - How to stay calm and pure -hearted when the pope tells strange things to us. - tell us how to raise children in a Catholic way. What did you do to give the faith to your girls? How did you make them wanna go to church, long for prayer, excitement about the saints and so on?. Are there any special books or prayers that you might recommend? How did you set limits and rules in a way that your children's understood was a part of being catholic? Ect. I have so many topics for you. Thousands...but I really would love to hear you talk about the first one I wrote here on the top of the text. A lot of love and prayers, Pax et bonum 💞👑🌟

Hello, Am a husband & a father of 3 for now & am avid watcher of your channel, I wish this information would be spread to all women out there, I have just listened to it with my wife & she was thinking a lot. Powerful & honest message. God bless U Christopher from Africa, Kenya

[@lovetruth5733]

Scripture says only GOD IS GOOD. Also Scripture says, don't put your life in man alone, Scripture. So working together with GOD is grate, you have issues, and so does she, so communication is the key to work out strengths and weaknesses. How can you ever work out what really is needed in a flow of a family. So wisdom comes into the weaknesses of past anscestors family familiars. All families has demonics waiting for that addiction to come out. So balance and truth is needed for deeper trust and love in a family. The man could have mental & addiction issues, there goes the money. So think about that, and my mum tried, so always work together and make sure you don't get pride mate.🤔✝️🙏 My mum needed to take the lead. Thanks be to GOD.AMEN AMEN.

[@marycomstock5793]

Beautiful share, thank you, have notes on a sticky! Very good points on family of origin influences. I am 57, married 31 yrs, regretfully no children, but continue learning to be a spiritual mom? Me: born, raised, lapsed, reclaimed Catholic. Hub: baptized old Congregational, nonpracticing, doesn't quite know what he believes but supports me. I was away from the Church when we were married by a kind Congregational minister. His folks: intelligent, quiet, accommodating dad with a background of strong mom and sisters; sharp, strong, outgoing, take charge mom. Mine: intelligent, quiet, kind, accommodating dad - very strong, supportive Catholic upbringing I learned years later; sharp Catholic mom had deep emotional, mental issues and hard background, dad was advised by professionals at the time to let her have her way. For a long time hub and I just lived the way we did. Religion was not a part until God called me back, and hub accepted marriage validation. Many things you describe resound with me/us. Although I did, and do, many things differently from our parents' examples, through my reclamation and personal emotional, mental health recovery, lifelong, I discovered that I didn't necessarily love him well, and have come to crave, and pray for/ thanksgiving, hub to be converted to masculine man, head of house and family he was created to be. And that does take same of me, recognizing and backing off, humbling myself, holy silence, building up his efforts. Some of same for us was finances: we enjoy and learn a lot from Dave Ramsey, we had good backgrounds for, but started budget in our new semi retired state, and that communication after all these years has made a difference, I feel some relief he now knows more about daily money, and I laud his efforts and appreciate his worries about our future. God bless you and your family, please keep sharing. I would add, I don't know what current Pre-Cana instruction is like, we didn't do and at the time I bristled at it, but I keep reminding myself to find an OLD traditional one.

This Dec. My husband and I will be married 40 yrs. When we were 1st married I "let him" run the show. He was a Baptist and I had PTSD. He had no clue what he was doing and he walked all over me till one day I blew and we than we had our 1st serious conversation. I told him I would let him be the man of the house provided he heard me out on my options And seriously considered them. But if it failed but owned up to it, we would work on it together to fix it. That was a life changer. He often asks me for my opinion. And we do a lot of talking. We didn't stick each other with all of one responsibility. Like we did what we called tag-team parenting. I was a stay at home mom and some days I needed a break and tag he was it. Some days we laughed. Because we both kept taging the other. We'd laugh and then deal with the kids together. At 60yrs old and 40 yrs of marriage, I can easily say it's not always easy but it's worth the effort. Like all things in life, u only get out of it what ur willing to put into it. And if u don't put God 1st it won't last. Cause He's the one who teaches you Grace, Mercy & Real Love.

[@ryanchristianvasiletiongso2387]

It’s inspiring to hear women willing to submit to God and their husbands. I pray everyday that my wife be willing to follow my lead in my growing devotion towards the Lord and my Catholic faith. Her mom is a great example of this but her father, a blasphemer, taught her nothing but feminist lies. I pray that there wasn’t so much friction, but I also accept my responsibility in this for choosing to marry such a girl. Aw well, I ask that you pray that I continue to follow the Lord and be the best husband I can given my circumstances. Thank you for your video, Deena.

The counter to be different is being young and head strong to prove a point and position as alpha in a relationship. I hear a lot of young have been like that. Maturity and knowing God eventually gives us pause correct our patterns.

[@catherineobrien-mchue1388]

I grew up in an alcoholic, very Catholic home. My dad might beat my mom during the day, but we always said rosary as a family that night. Then dad would read from the Bible. He would get drunk many Sundays after Mass. I have been married 3 times and have noticed that, like my mom, quietness and submission have no effect on bullying behavior.

[@KatRunion]

Yes. But you can't call that behavior out apparently, or you're a feminist! Let your husbands beat you and get drunk. etc etc. Long as they believe in God! Go to confession and confess their sins and are absolved of all the PTSD they're giving their wives and children. These poor women and kids.

[@TheBadTrad]

@@KatRunion As a man, I will say you can (and should) absolutely call out that behavior and no, you wouldn’t be labeled a feminist. A *real* man doesn’t lay a hand on his wife (or any other woman) in anger. He acts as a loving protector. And, they can confess all day long, but if they don’t work to end that abuse, it’s on them and they will be held to account as they should be. No one is giving anyone a free pass here, and it’s definitely not what Deena was trying to communicate in her video. Nowhere near it.

I soooo did not want to watch this video because I know I’m not a good Catholic wife. My husband and I are just now (as of summer) coming back into the church and we will be convalidating our marriage soon. I was raised by a single mother so I’m all about taking care of things. I have full control of the finances because my husband really isn’t into that stuff. He was in the military so I always took care of everything financial. I’m also very, very much into trying to control things. Kinda like you, I just don’t know why. I know I need to work on things. On his end, he’s always been the leader and protector though. Very much so as you can imagine someone in the military, just like a police officer, is very much about leading and protecting. Now my husband is also learning to be the priest of the home so as he learns that, I’m learning to be more submissive, etc. It’s something that I’ll definitely be working on for the rest of my life as well, but I’m more in the beginning stages of realizing all of this in contrast to you. 😉 As always, I love your video today! 🙏🏼

I come from a family of divorce where my mom, also, was the leader and provider more so than my dad. He was mentally absent for some years, so I too struggle with being the "leader" in my family now. However, I'm the one who got my husband going back to church and I still take the spiritual role as he isnt quite into his faith as he should be (prayers for his reversion would be greatly appreciated) however when he does make a final decision on any big issues I do always follow and we are very good at communicating and letting the other person know whatever issues we have. He is great at providing for our family, as he works and I stay home; and, like you, I also handle bills, groceries, appointments, ect.

This happens in front of friends and family and I'm always wrong for some reason. So I naturally disengage from any all discussion of religion or politics with her, because I'm wrong, and it always blows up into an argument....Oh and she's a never Trumper.

Everyone, even if you have your marital struggles, are still fortunate to have a husband who is a Catholic. I am not a cradle Catholic so I am unequally yoked. Only became Catholic AFTER I had been married and during my separation from my spouse, but we tried to work things out to no avail. I try and try to let him lead because I don't like the idea of being bossy, but the more I tried to trust him each time, he leads me to mortal sin, asking me to lie, to steal, to manipulate on his behalf, for, and with him. I feel like I married the Devil and he is taking over and lead me to Hell, so if I refuse to obey my husband who acts like Satan would that still make me a bad Catholic wife? Because I'd rather be a bad wife than a bad Catholic. And by bad I mean disobeying his orders of doing things his way that leads to multiple mortal grave sins ( I have committed all except murder) SMH. I rather just FOLLOW Christ than a man who has disdain of me being Catholic. My spouse is a bona-fide Narcissist. Thats what many Catholic woman with Catholic husbands don't deal with. It seems no video helps me with my scenarios. Even my children hate him and want nothing to do with him. Its now even more difficult for me to teach my kids about God if they hate what is supposed to represent a Father Figure. People who have father issues are more likely to become atheist.

@La Reine thank you for watching my video and sharing your thoughts with me. I am so sorry that your husband is failing to lead you properly and has failed in his duty as a husband. May the Lord have mercy on him. 💔 In *no world* is sin acceptable. If your husband is leading you into sin - you aren’t expected to blindly obey and you mustn’t follow him. All sin is abhorrent to Christ. We are all culpable for our own choices to sin and cannot place the blame of our actions onto someone else. We all have free will. “We must remember the pointed teaching St. Paul gives to husbands in Ephesians 5. The Apostle says that husbands are to represent Christ; they are to serve as head of the domestic church. What does this mean? The true authority that comes through the life-giving sacraments has little to do with fallen man’s understanding of power, of ruling over others for one’s own benefit. “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be first among you must be your servant; even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve” (Mt 20:25-28). Husbands are to act as Christ the King - the King enthroned upon the Cross: “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her” (Eph 5:25). The authority of the husband is truly itself when exercised in imitation of Christ. St. Thomas Aquinas captures this point well: “The wife is subject to God by being subject to her husband-under-God” [subiicitur viro sub Deo], meaning that she is subject to him inasmuch as he himself is “under God,” that is, ruling in accordance with God’s commandments [v]. Thus, in every marriage, husband and wife are called to imitate and manifest, to each other and to the world, the love of Christ and the Church, itself patterned after the mystery of love within the Blessed Trinity. This imitation and manifestation can be accomplished only by the grace of God, the God who is Love; it takes constant prayer and discernment, patience, and perseverance. Only through a continual awareness of the greatness of one’s vocation to love - to rule and to serve by means of love and for the sake of love - can the balance of hierarchy-in-equality and equality-in-hierarchy be maintained. The proper relationship of wife with husband and the precious gift of childbearing suffered harm from the Fall (cf. Gen. 3:16), as can be seen both in men who abuse their husbandly authority and in men who are too timid or effeminate to embrace its responsibilities. We can see all kinds of problems: men who rule for their own selfish gain; men who refuse to rule for anyone’s good; women who refuse to let themselves be ruled at all; women who act as doormats and do not challenge abuses of authority. This, I think, is why we find the example of a happily married couple living together in peace and joy so refreshing and encouraging. It shows that it can indeed be done, by determined human effort and God’s implored grace.” Dr. Peter Kwasniewski Pax Christi ~ Deena

@@ACatholicWife I could be two women. I could be Joan of Arc (whom is my patron saint) but also St. Rita, two Catholic women saints, two different personalities. While it is easier for me to be Joan because men who are my friends do listen to me and respect me, because they're smart and understanding. But I know God wants us to choose the more challenging route and nothing challenges me more than the role of a wife, harder than being a mother. St. Rita's husband wasnt a man of God but how did she manage.

@Ieva Lucia Husic thank you so much for your kindness ♥️🙏🏽 What is a video you’d like me to make about marriage?

[@ievaluciahusic2349]

@@ACatholicWife It would be great to hear your thoughts, ideas and experiences about becoming a stay at home wife/mother. It is not a popular choice these days, yet in many cases it seems like a good decision for me. I see many working moms who are totally exhausted and full of guilt for not having time for their kids and husbands.

@leva Lucia Husic I’ll definitely make that video! Thank you for subscribing to my channel ♥️
