A True Love Story with John Bosio of Happy Together

John Bosio and his wife share a love story worthy of a movie.

In the 1960s, eleven-year-old John entered pre-seminary in Italy. Meanwhile, an American girl from a military family was praying for him in a school chapel in Thailand--she and her friend would run into the chapel during recess to pray for their future spouses every day.

After fifty years of marriage John knows he and his beautiful wife are on the last leg of their pilgrimage together on Earth.

Since his wife no longer has memories, John creates precious moments with her each day.

It is critical to John that his wife knows she comes first. After authoring numerous books on marriage and family life and leading countless retreats, John has stepped away to care for his beloved.

John shares timeless wisdom in this podcast that will touch your soul by his witness to true love.

God Works Outside the Box with Julieanne Bartlett of Passion of Hope

“Maybe God doesn’t have anybody for you or God has called you to be single."

These were the types of heartbreaking responses Julieanne Bartlett heard from loved ones when she was struggling with prolonged singleness.

Yet, Julieanne knew God was calling her to the Vocation of marriage and discovered she needed to let God work outside the box for her—nothing was going to go the “perfect way” or “the perfect Catholic way.”

Julieanne chose to put herself out there in spite of her fear of rejection, especially in regards to her weight (she had always struggled with this).  She was willing to face rejection, because Julieanne wanted marriage more than she wanted to protect herself.

Julieanne's greatest hope came true and she met and married her husband at 42. Julieanne continues to experience God's profound healing and hope within her marriage. 

We have to stay open to the way that God may get us to our dreams.
