A father’s daughter was marrying another woman. Though he and his family were Catholic, the marriage would occur in another church since the Catholic church has clearly stated that they define a biblical marriage as being between a man and a woman, and thus will not allow such unions to take place in their churches.
"My wife and I have been really struggling with our communication and our relationship; feels like we are two ships sailing in the night, which concerns me. I know I am responsible for what comes out of my mouth, which reveals what is in my heart. I have been trying to take responsibility for that and ask for forgiveness."
