A practising Catholic will be marrying a non-practicing Catholic (who may not believe in God anymore) in the Catholic Church. Can they have a Nuptial Mass with the non-practicing Catholic not receiving Communion? Since sacraments should be received in a state of grace, and the non-practicing one obviously is not in such a state, what does it mean for the non-practicing one to receive the sacrament in that state? Will the non-practicing Catholic still receive the grace of Matrimony?
My husband has serious illnesses called dermatillomania and trichotillomania. His skin problem has ruined 90 percent of his skin and his emotional wellbeing.

That is to maintain chastity, I am middle age, in my situation?
My girl feels guilty in getting married in a Catholic Church as they may plan not to have children. This would forbidden them to a Catholic matrimony. Is it true?

I was wondering why people are allowed to remarry once their spouse died. Wouldn’t they end up with several spouses then? I also want to know if marriages on Earth will be honoured in heaven or if God will take away our marriage? I love my girlfriend and plan on marrying her and the idea of losing the special exclusive connection we have terrifies me.
