It's just that I have a former Methodist husband, and we are going to have to break him in easy . . . so I can be patient!

Patience is always a good thing, and you seem to be on the right track. But if you really want to convert your husband, only sanctifying grace can do it. This is both Catholic and protestant theology. So go to the source where sanctifying grace is actually available, go to the fountain of graces, the traditional Catholic sacraments.

In contrast, there have been several threads recently about how real men head for the exits screaming whenever they are dragged inside a modern "liturgical service."

They will be trampled by yours truly on the way out the door.

We have to get my husband to the sanctifying grace or the grace to my husband. Like Dickens's beefsteak, he "must be humored, not drove." After 27 years of marriage, I know just about how far and fast he can be led. Eventually I will get him into range, and the Good Lord will do the rest.
