  • 094. Holier Matrimony: Vows, Saints, and Marital Grace with Caitrin Bennett
    Nov 8 2025

    Are your marriage vows just beautiful words from long ago— or could they be a daily roadmap guiding you and your spouse to holiness and happiness right now?

    Whether you’re newly engaged, married for decades, or simply seeking to renew and strengthen your relationship, the journey to a grace-filled marriage can feel overwhelming. Too often, couples drift from the powerful promises they made at the altar, facing modern stresses without meaningful examples of how to live those vows in ordinary life.

    In this episode of Of Sound Mind and Spirit, Caitrin Bennett joins Shelly Kelly and Lisa Jones to explore how the wisdom of married saints — and a practical approach to the Catholic marriage vows — can transform your relationship, no matter where you are on the journey.

    Here’s what you’ll discover when you listen in:

    • How examining your specific marriage vows—often overlooked after the wedding day—can unlock new grace and understanding for your relationship.

    • Personal stories and hand-picked saints who faced real marital trials, with practical steps you can use to strengthen your own marriage starting today.

    • A framework for reclaiming the sacramental power of marriage, bringing faith, healing, and deeper intimacy, no matter how many years you’ve been married.

    CAITRIN BENNETT is a homeschooling Catholic mama who truly believes that holy marriages can restabilize our society. She currently lives in Maryland with her husband, Chris, and their three young children. Holier Matrimony is her first book.
