In this heartfelt episode of Catholic Answers Live, we address one of the most difficult situations a Catholic can face: What if your spouse is resistant—or even hostile—to the idea of conversion? We offer practical and pastoral advice on how to approach this conversation with patience, love, and truth, without pushing them away.
