Chet and Alison Collins

Welcome to Catholic Husband, the blog that follows my life as a husband and father. My name is Chet Collins and I’ve been writing and publishing this blog every week since 2013.

I’ve always enjoyed writing, a passion I developed during my high school years. Alison and I met at Franciscan University of Steubenville, where I studied Philosophy and spent much of my time writing. In my post-academic life, writing is the way to develop my thoughts and process my experiences.

As Alison and I started our new life together, I found plenty of resources, magazines, articles, and blogs for wives and brides-to-be, but few for men looking to be the best husband that they could be. On March 19, 2013, I published the first post on Catholic Husband.

Since then, I’ve written and published over 1,000 blog posts on this blog, covering just about every aspect of my life. I even wrote three books, including The Transition: A Practical Guide to Engagement for Men and Grant Us Peace. My latest release is Humble Service: Leading Your Family as a Stay-at-Home Dad.

I hope you find Catholic Husband to be helpful in your life and your marriage!
