Product Description

How to have a stronger, happier marriage

These pages will give you what you need to make your marriage a source of profound happiness and lasting peace:

  • Knowledge: You’ll come to understand the nature of marriage and its superiority to “living together” and other temporary unions.

  • Love: You’ll learn to distinguish love from lust, infatuation, and other common counterfeits; and you’ll discover the healing role it can play in the best — and bleakest — of marriages.

  • Faith: You’ll come to see how the sacramental marriage of Christians is the fulfillment and perfection of marriage, giving husband and wife what every spouse secretly longs for.

    Especially today, this beautiful book — which reveals the sublime vocation of Christian marriage — is a must for anyone who is eager to live worthily this great mystery of love.

    Marriage will show you:

  • The one right motive for marrying — and the many wrong ones (some often accepted by Christians)
  • The difference between the meaning of marriage and its purpose (and the dangers of confusing the two)
  • The five ways in which married love differs from other loves
  • Six counterfeit loves: what sometimes passes for love isn’t
  • The key role of will in sustaining love
  • Your unhappy marriage: it may be a clear “call” from God
  • How difficulties and suffering can deepen your marriage — and make you and your spouse better persons
  • How marriage reveals God’s love and presence
  • How Christianity intensifies married love
  • The meaning of marriage as a sacrament: its promises, its demands, and how it is a source of strength and grace.

    “These pages are like a psalm written to celebrate the beauty, the wonder, and the mystery of marriage.”
    Columbia

    “Clear . . . and utterly faithful to the truth.”
    Peter Kreeft

    God is the Mystery of Faithful Love. It is earth shattering to see how the sacrament of marriage images the Incarnation of the Word made flesh(Lo in the volume of the book it is written of me; I have come to do your will, O Lord); how the conjugal act, the most sacred and intimate physical act of marriage images the sacrifice of the Eucharist, how spouses after entering into covenant through their vows say to each other "This is my body which is given up for you." images the priest during the sacrifice of the Eucharist when, in persona Christi, he says "This is my body which is given up for you" which images or represents what Christ said on Holy Thursday, "This is my body which is given up for you; how the consummation of the conjugal act is an image of Our Lord on the cross, proclaiming "Consumatum est." - It is finished. O Death where is thy sting, O grave where is thy victory.

    Pros: Short and to the point; Very thorough;
    Best Uses: To improve your marriage;
    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
    Marriage is an I-Thou relationship, not a we relationship--very profound. It is so easy to slip into a we relationship.
