Yes Brian! Good Catholic women are indeed attracted to virtue and to virtuous men! Thank you so much for your insights and your witness as a faithful Catholic husband and father.
Thank you so much for this Elisabeth!! Brian Holdsworth has so much wisdom to impart. This is especially so for men of all age groups, but particularly for young men. So much was touched on in this interview. Topics such as wisdom, virtue, discernment, sanctification. There is so much to reflect on . I pray that this conversation will be a blessing to many who watch your channel. May you also be richly blessed Elisabeth!🙏😇
Very good interview. Its a great message that Brian sends out to young people seeking marriage about cultivating virtue and that this is what a prospective partner will value most ultimately, over and above the more surface level values.
It's a lovely meeting story and while such accidents of meeting and connection still happen I feel Brian is perhaps not the greatest person to relate to the current situation, at least in terms of finding the partner, ( he is better when talking about being married )he is one of those people that caught the last helicopter out of Vietnam in marriage terms, there has been more change in the last 15 years in the dating mating and marriage world since he left it, than probably the previous 50 prior to that. We must try find our path of course but we have to deal with the current reality where we find it and work from there, nobody has a map for this new world. Yes virtue grace etc but the practical issues are huge and need addressing on the mass population and culture level rather than the individual.
I enjoyed this video Elisabeth!! Keep up the good work. Brian gave some wise advice. Do you (or anybody who may read this) know of any online Biblical book clubs that are active?
Deep and insightful topics are covered here. Thank you, I had to stop the video multiple times and ponder the answers given..."If this person that He created is more valuable than the entire universe, that He went to incredible lengths just on the chance that He could spend eternity with this person." It is a beautiful line. It hit differently when changed from giving the other person a chance, to why someone should give me a chance...I am a human soul that He created, that is more valuable in His eyes than the entire universe. That He went to incredible lengths on just the chance that He could spend eternity with me... this shift in perspective was humbling. Thank you, Elizabeth for asking the question.
I have watched Brian you can see him thinking and he confirmed it, that was cool. You have a healthy appetite Elizabeth, I still think this is great Catholic content. As a man it matters to hear the success others have with women, it makes me appreciate them more. Men today are broken it's weird we always look down no matter who we talk to, but then again maybe that's the sign of a humble man. We should work to recognize each other. God bless. And good virtue.
I'm a guy who is very introverted, and im flipflopping around pursuing virtue and socializing. Like i understand that practicing virtue kinda requires a social aspect, but ive fallen into a rhythm where i don't usually interact with people outside my social circle. I want to reach out and talk with a specifc girl at my church, but i want to make sure my intentions are right before hand. Its been a about 3 years now, but the topic usually only comes up about once or twice a year. Anyone got any insight on this.
When it comes to men finding a girlfriend or wife, some guys have it and some guys don’t. If a guy doesn’t have it, he’s pretty much out of luck. Of course, there are some exceptions, but for the most part, it doesn’t matter how nice or good or smart or kind or honest or Catholic a guy is, if a he doesn’t have it, he’s pretty much out of luck when it comes to ever finding a mate. It’s not the fault of women. They just find some men attractive and other men unattractive or boring as they often say. Men shouldn’t get angry and blame women for not being interested in them. Somehow, it’s just the way God designed it. You either have it, or you don’t. You either can attract and get the love of your life, or you get frustrated and settle for somebody you hope you will learn to love, or possibly you just end up being a 75 year old single guy that has lots of wonderful women friends in his life who only like and love him as a friend and will never have any romantic interests in him.
I am very sorry to hear that this is your perception! However, I can assure you that it DOES matter "how nice or good or smart or kind or honest or Catholic a guy is". Women can fall in love with men whom they find physically unattractive if that man has other great qualities that women prioritize. By becoming the most competent, most healthy and holiest version of himself a man can highly increase the chances of getting the woman of his dreams.
Elizabeth and Brian talking?… 😮 You made my day, week, year and beyond!
Imagine my day, week, year and beyond! 💫

Can you describe what a guy who “doesn’t have it” actually looks like? What does that guy look like? How tall is he?
Aaaaaw, his then-atheist wife went to church for him. That's a good friend.
