Marriage
What does the Catechism of the Catholic Church say about the gift of marrigae/matrimony?
 
Please answer this question because it is very troubling to my heart. I've read all your answers concerning the role of women, but I still wonder about some things. I just cannot accept the belief that a man should be the head of the household. God is genderless, so shouldn't husband and wife be...
 
My boyfriend (who is Baptist) and I are seriously dating and I would love for him to "pop the question". I don't want to force him to convert, but let him come to the Church when he's ready. But I don't know if we can be married in the eyes of the Church if he is not Catholic.  
 
I was wondering...If you aren't sure you would like to have children when you grow up (but you are not pro-choice) is that a sign that you might not be called to married life?  
 
Is it a sin to have sex before marriage?
 
I know that the intent of sex between a man and wife is to have children and also to bond but what if after marriage a couple decides that they cannot afford children does this mean they cannot have sex?
 
Is it wrong to marry someone who isn't Catholic?
 
What exactly are the rules of marrying someone outside of the Catholic religion in the Catholic church?
 
My parents are not married in the Church, but mom is very active in various ministries. Can she get Communion?
 
Where does the Church stand on inter-denominational dating and/or marriage?
 
My family knows a married couple who are completely celibate...by choice! And they've been married a long time too, and it's always been that way. They say just don't have the urge to do otherwise. I wonder if this is ok, but then I think of the celibate relationship between Mary and Joseph...so...
 
I would like to know everything the Bible says about marriage,wives for husbands, and husbands for wives, and families.
