Husbands & WivesMain Topic:Scenario: Okay, you’re sitting in the family room watching your favorite team playing ball while slurping down a brewski. You’re kicked back relaxing, slouched down on the sofa with your feet rested on the coffee table. The stresses of your job are a thousand miles away, the kids are all busy with whatever keeps them occupied and you’re happy to be having a little “me time”. About the time you begin thinking life just doesn’t get any better than this, your beautiful partner walks into the room. Your wife (secretly known to you as “the warden”) is staring holes in you. You do your best to pretend you don’t notice the daggers being thrown at you from her eyes… then she crosses her arms and you realize you’d better acknowledge her before your peaceful existence and life as you know it cease to exist. You look at her, flash your most heartwarming boyish smile and ask, “What’s up, honey?” She replies, “Your feet. On the coffee table. Get ‘em off!”Question: Your peaceful, care-free day is shattered now. How should you react? What should you say? What should you do?The possible answers to these questions are like walking through a mine field, but Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy gives you the solid Catholic teachings to this… to keep husbands alive and wives out of prison.Want To Dialog?Do you want to dialog on this topic?

But you can contact me anytime you want to let me know what’s on your mind. just go to the “Get In Touch” page, or JoeSixpackAnswers.com.The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media GroupJoin our group where subscribers of The Cantankerous Catholic can meet to discuss the issues talked about in episodes, get opinions from other like minded people, or simply discuss anything effecting Catholics.Don’t like or trust Facebook? No problem!Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy doesn’t trust Facebook either. There have been too many instances of censorship on Facebook. If you promote abortion, LGBT issues, or anything anti-patriotic, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be unmolested by Facebook. But if you promote life, decency or morality, Facebook is subject to censor your posts, take down your page, or otherwise use some underhanded method to censor you.TrumpTown.comWe’ve found an alternative to Facebook. It’s a new social media site called TrumpTown.com. Whether you like President Trump or not, this is the one social media that doesn’t censor you for upholding Catholic values and morals. You’re completely free to discuss and promote anything you want, just as long as it isn’t immoral, indecent, or anti-American. Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy has been critical of President Trump on a number of issues, as is the right of all Americans. TrumpTown.com has never molested him in any way, and they guarantee they won’t. The site otherwise works identically to Facebook. That is the reason Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy chose to host The Cantankerous Catholic Social Media Group there. We have the added benefit and protection of being a private group. So join the group now to meet other like minded Catholics.Not a Catholic? We’d still love to have you join us. You’ll find that we’re a very welcoming people.
