Riassunto

This ecumenical Catholic Christian marriage guide offers Christian marriage guidance centered around following Jesus with love, wisdom, and other Christian virtues during ordinary marriage and family activities. The virtues help Christian couples (and non-Christians too) deal with marital problems effectively, strengthen their marriage, and deepen their relationship with God. The author draws from Jesus, Paul, Thomas Aquinas, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and other saints and spiritual reformers to show that following Jesus virtuously is the Christian Way not only to holiness in marriage and family life, but also to happiness--that is, to a profound Christian happiness focused on God and virtue, not just a conventional happiness focused on worldly goods. This marriage guide is ideal for engaged and married couples who would like Christian moral and spiritual marriage guidance to supplement, enhance, and often correct today's mainstream secular marriage guidance.

Product Description:

How can Christian couples be happily married in this 21st century? By communicating well? Resolving conflicts? Dealing with gender, personality, and cultural differences? Rekindling the romance?These communication and relationship skills have helped many couples, but they have not always helped enough, according to David Sanderlin in his ecumenical Catholic Christian marriage guide, The Christian Way to be Happily Married. Sanderlin points out that mainstream marriage authorities throughout the Western world have been promoting these communication and relationship skills for over half a century now, and it is during this very time that divorce rates have skyrocketed! The author argues persuasively that Christian couples need something more than these communication and relationship skills. They need to follow Jesus with love, wisdom, patience, gratitude, and other Christian virtues in a loving Christian marriage discipleship. This book is ideal for Christian engaged and married couples who would like to be happily married not only by using conventional communication and relationship skills, but also, above all, by following Jesus with love, wisdom, and other Christian virtues during their ordinary marriage and family activities. Couples can learn from this book how to deal with money, housework, and other practical marriage and family matters with the love and wisdom of Jesus, saints, and spiritual reformers.The author points out that this Christian Way to be happily married is good for non-Christians too. It is good for non-Christians also to love their partner and treat their partner well, with wisdom, patience, and other virtues.The author draws from Jesus, Paul, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, John Wesley, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and other saints and spiritual reformers to recover the Christian Way for couples to be happily married by following Jesus virtuously. The author emphasizes that Christian couples are called to follow Jesus not only by believing that he
