"Being around him...was like coming home" - best quote ever 😍

[@mione134]

I'm 32, Catholic, and single. I just don't trust a lot of people. I suffer from severe anxiety so it's hard. I want to get married and have a family but it's hard to really open up to someone. Especially about my beliefs, my morals or standards. Fear of rejection. Afraid he'll think I'm weird. Your story spoke to me in so many ways. I hope one day I can find my future Catholic husband.

[@KatherineCimorelli]

OMG I was at the Switzerland concert in 2016!! I remember having a long and meaningful conversation with you about my health, life in general and your really cool checkered shoes you bought from the UK store. I still think about that day when I feel down about myself, so thank you for that 💖

[@brightlights956]

I think it's so sweet how Max converted to Catholicism for you and respected your boundaries around sex/kissing before marriage (bare minimum but still haha). He clearly really loves you and you guys are so lucky you found each other!!

[@leigh-anncalotes5301]

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience!! Please post a video about your husband’s journey to Catholicism, it would be so beautiful to hear!

[@AbbyElizabeth03]

11:30 SUCH A GOOD POINT. My boyfriend would always tell other people this. Even the night before we went on our first date I called him and I was rambling about how I didn’t know if I was ready etc… and he just said “No worries! I’m not worried. Let’s just go on our date and see how it goes.” It made me so much less afraid and then I was actually excited for our date! You can be open-minded without compromising your values. Give people a chance.

[@oliviabaker6488]

I'm 27 and Catholic, and super single so this video gives me so much hope! Online dating is horrible (so is "in-person" lol) but I keep praying for my future husband. So happy for you and thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us ♥

[@sheriknopf213]

Thank you for sharing. Love hearing your stories. I would love to hear more stories about you and Max dating and your first couple years of marriage. sometimes what we think we want isn’t what is best for us. My husband isn’t what I would have thought I would end up with either but he is perfect for me. He is so patient and supportive which is exactly what I need……

[@wendy8406]

Watching your vids makes me feel better about myself. Catholicism is also a very important aspect of my life that I don’t want to lose. I’m glad you openly speak about this and I’ll always make time to listen to your videos. You genuinely inspire me to don’t give up my beliefs and That makes me very happy. Thank you Kath💕

[@livelovelaughMAK3UP]

Mini rant: Your story is so cool to me. How you describe not having that “sparks fireworks” like other guys that were quite frankly bad news anyways, I’ve learned that too and had a heck of a hard time learning it. But I totally agree, at least for me. Like there is and was nothing wrong with that first intensity, but it just was never bueno! And then… how talk about Max… “felt like coming home” even though he wasn’t what you thought you’d go for, etc. I remember watching this the first time just because I love hearing your stories. And then I found out God guided me to hear this. Because the situation you describe going into dating Max, reminded me a lot of my own journey with this new man I was dating. And I had felt SO unsure and scared. Because it was new! Where was that punch in the face of sparks?! (Which yes is at least definitely for me a drawing of trying to heal inner child wounds OOPS AHA). But everything you’ve said lined up to what I was going through. Which in one way healed me a lot for other things going on, but also made me not feel alone in this. Great comfort washed over me. I’m still with that new man. And I felt called to watch this again. And you’re right: this one makes me feel calm, I feel okay to be exactly as I am and not a scrubbed down shiny version of myself that I thought I needed to be. I feel a genuine care from this man and I think I feel even more safe after hearing your story. So, as long winded as this is, I just want to say thank you. I appreciate your story, and here’s to choosing the good ones 🤍

[@carolinaolivera]

Everything that you’ve said about feeling relaxed and comfy on your first date with your husband and your previous thoughts about how you should feel dating someone it’s exactly what happened to me and my boyfriend 7 years ago when we met. I felt at home with him and so comfortable that It felt weird as you did. I could be myself around him from day one and it was something I wasn’t used to. I really think sometimes we can put ourselves a lot of pressure on how we should feel, maybe because relationships are something we idealized from movies or novels or whatever reason. But it’s important to understand that love can feel that way too and it’s ok. Thank you for sharing your story Kath :)

[@vicky_la_france]

I LOVE THIS! ♥️ Your comment about feeling you needed to put on a show around certain Catholic guys REALLY hit me. I’ve felt this even in Catholic friendships, too. I’m so thankful to have found a group of amazing friends (and a husband) who are really strong Catholics but who I can also be my truest, messiest self around, and it sounds like you have too, Kath. So happy for you! 🎉

[@SnoozedMuse]

I've heard a quote before talking about how when you feel that spark and churning and nervous and all over the place, that is not the one... But when you feel calm and centered with them, that's the one 🎉 The best online dating tip I received was to put all yourself in the profile, the crazy the chaos the issues the wants the needs, the dreams, the evvvverythig!!! Yes it will scare people off, the wrong people for you which is a great thing!!! Also, you have to research your city and area to understand what apps people there use more, bc it can be different location to location and you want to be on one that has a great majority for where you live or want to be looking.

[@superlyobsessed]

As someone currently trying to navigate dating apps I really appreciate you sharing your story and how you felt ♥️

[@helensophie1152]

Thank you so much for your video, Kath! Even though I am not Catholic or even a believer in God, I found your story, your journey and your experiences very enlightening. And I know the online dating thing all too well, unfortunately. I have the feeling that I will never find the right one there, often it is just frustrating. I'm all the more encouraged by your story. Only the best for you and your family! Love from Germany

[@megangeier9098]

This was so refreshing to hear. I've been the exact same way with signing up for dating apps and then deleting them and going back and forth over the last couple years. I get so annoyed with myself- I can't imagine what my friends think every time I talk to them about it lol. But I'm also a strong Catholic and hearing your thoughts and experiences from the same perspective in that respect really helped. Thanks for telling your story!

[@SimplyZeyma]

getting that peace after asking God something in adoration is so so reassuring

[@kaceysmith947]

I’ve been on multiple dating sites and a few catholic/Christian sites. Never had any luck. I’m now 33 and still single. Only had one serious long term relationship and would love to have something similar! I feel the same way that you felt. That I was very picky and if I don’t get a good vibe with someone I don’t pursue it anymore. I’m kind of on a break with dating right now.

[@Akii.96]

The part you talked about the fact that Max was not religious but at the same time you felt so much peace from God about dating him is very interesting to me as an evangelical...at this point i wonder what being "equally yoked" really means

[@ijctabs]

Oh Katherine I’m soooo happy for you! God is good! Unfortunately my marriage wasn’t what I ever thought it would be, after two and a half years of marriage, so much changed between us, it became very toxic and I question myself- my decisions.. maybe I didn’t listen to God? Maybe I should have prayed more or listened to the Holy Spirit more. But our marriage is at an end. I’m so mentally and spiritually broken, after mental and emotional abuse. I have two kiddos that came from our marriage, and I’m so grateful but right now I’m hurting. I’ve gone through the idea of divorce for the past 7 months, since I left.. I know I made a promise before God the day we got married but my husband put me down so many times, many times I felt so depressed and although I’m not physically living with him anymore, the blame shifting and gaslighting is still going on. My heart breaks because I know God can restore a marriage but he doesn’t want anything to do with God anymore. I feel like I failed. And divorce is my only option now, I can’t go back 😭 I don’t think I can heal from this.. or ever find someone who truly loves me and my kids. I don’t know why I’m writing this on here, I’m sorry I know it’s so random.. I just want to say, hearing how you and max met brings me so much happiness because God does put people together. Not all men will hurt Gods daughters.. there are men out there who will honor their wives and I’m in awe of it!

[@erikacook3056]

I just wanted to let you know that abuse is never okay. I hope God sustains you during this time and gives you consolation as you discern His plan. I hope you are seeing a good therapist and have support from friends and family. I will pray for you and your husband.

And remember "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." The Lord has your life and your family in His hands. He will not abandon you nor let you down. Sending you a big hug!

I don’t have all the answers but I do know that if marriage becomes harmful and dangerous it’s definitely best to get out to protect yourself and your children.

[@christiansoul01]

This is so interesting. I'm Christian and also consider myself very religious, yet I don't judge you a single bit. Because as I believe you've been doing the most important thing in faith which is obedience to God (and His servants). You don't just have a dead faith of strict rules that are set in stone. You have a relationship with God and that is the most important thing. I believe that your relationship with God is exactly why you have His blessings. You asked God and was basically ready to drop everything if He told you to. Much love and God bless With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. 2 Samuel 22:26-27 Sorry, English is not my first language Edit: Although, I personally would not merry a non-believer, I really respect your story and appreciate that you shared it❤️

[@rossrobertson5094]

Advice; take it or leave it: Girls/women have all the power in dating/relationship building/bonding. Guys/men unless they are very outgoing have to face a lot more rejections and ghosting than girls/women in general if they are even talked to asked or considered for a date/dating. So Girls it's always been in your court and under your control even if some guy/man makes you think otherwise, never give out or give in to any kind of pressure you/your body is not another's play ground or for their enjoyment; it is essentially the path of boding spiritually and bringing you both to the greatest understanding of how you compliment one another fully!!! Always Pray For God's Guidance In Everything!!!
