Two Become Family
Welcome to the podcast that talks about Catholic marriage, without pretending it's easy.
We are Renzo and Monica Ortega, we've been married 13 years, we have 5 kids, and our apostolate, Two Become Family, helps Catholics who love the Church, love each other, and still have no idea why marriage feels so hard sometimes.
Through our very candid, and sometimes uncomfortably vulnerable, conversations about sex, NFP, conflict, family life, we hope to spark conversations between you and your spouse.

Why Does Marriage Prep Matter?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today's episode we discuss how St. John Paul the Great saved our marriage, how being a stay-at-home-dad changed Renzo's perspective on being a husband and father, and why it's so important for couples to prepare well before getting married!
