It's absolutely refreshing to hear a young, single man say that people who struggle with habitual sexual sin shouldn't date. It's a standard I've come to for myself and any potential suitors, and it's one I intend to stick to no matter how difficult it seems to find someone who agrees. I'd rather be single than introduce that into my future family. Kudos!

I feel that I am married to a man who is like St. Joseph in so many ways. I Praise God for that!! Please help me pray that my son will grow up to be the same, and that my daughters will be cared for and protected by men like St. Joseph as they grow older. I highly recommend the consecration to St. Joseph!!

Supremely based! Perfect timing - single Catholic fellas we got this!

[lindaoforka]

Just, chaste, obedient, prudent, faithful, strong. Thanks for highlighting what one should expect from a man :) P.S. you made me smile throughout. Thank you. :)

Great video, Tanner. I wish I could find a man with half of these traits. At midlife, it's not easy because people have been hurt in childhood and by divorce. God bless all the men and women who are single and dating.

[nicoleyoshihara]

Yay I need dating tips and encouragement. I feel called to marriage but haven't met my future husband yet

[angelrivera]

Yes! Please more videos for young Catholic men on dating. Loved this video!

[beavadakkoot]

I must say I am engaged and getting married to a man like st Joseph and I can't be more thankful 😭

[Klehan]

The first guy I dated was devoted to St. Joseph and it was very inspiring/attractive. I hope my future spouse loves St. Joseph with the same eagerness!

Also, this is my first time watching any of your videos, Mr. Kalina, and I love your energy!

Great video!! I pray that my future husband is like St. Joseph

I needed this. I lost my father when I was very young and have not had many fatherly role models in my life but through Saint Joseph and learning about his masculine, fatherly, and Christian virtue I have learned a lot on what it means to be a man and servant of Christ.

Praying for my son and daughter to be equally yoked and to find their spouse.

[MallettMotion]

That was super well spoken! Very helpful. Interesting how simple it is, yet so hard to master: The manliest thing you can do, is commit yourself to God. Spot on.

[sarahhallis]

On point! This is awesome. Thank you, Tanner - very well presented. St. Joseph, pray for us!

[cupcakedaisy]

Is this a nephew of Fr Mike or so? xD<3 His facial features... Or maybe it's just some glow of faith :D
Anyway, thank you for this! Really good. And... The chastity-thing, masturbation etc., also goes for so many of us women. For us, this struggle is just as tough, even if maybe not as common. In case you're struggling with this, know that you're not abnormal and alone.
A man who's prudently decisive. That sounds so good... And it's possible! We don't have to be perfect, but we need to have a strong foundation when we start dating. I pray for all of us watching this that we become better and better for our future spouses! <3

[josieguillen]

I pray that my son will aspire to be like St. Joseph.

[thiagodemelo]

My goodness! What a great presentation on the virtues of St. Joseph. My appreciation of him, which was already high, has been further elevated and deepened. Thank you! Men: be like St. Joseph!

[bcfriardoyle]

This talk is exemplary, should be part of marriage prep!
