"Marriage is really a decision to love the other, in the sense of putting the other first," said R. Jared Staudt, Catholic father, teacher, writer, speaker and Benedictine oblate dedicated to helping others to experience and embrace the vibrant tradition of Catholic life. "And when you do that, it's fruitful. Marriage is meant to be fruitful and bring us to a deeper sense of who we are in relationship to the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Jared works in formation for men as director of content for Exodus 90 and teaches for the Lay Division of St. John Vianney Seminary. He earned his BA and MA in Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and his PhD in Systematic Theology from Ave Maria University. He teaches, writes and speaks on the intersection of faith and life, including the fundamentals of faith, art, literature, history, philosophy and the principles of education.
