A DARING PROMISE A Spirituality of Christian Marriage

A professor of Catholic studies reads a rich and compassionate essay on how modern marriage can be framed within the laws and blessings of traditional Christianity. The presentation is a journey into the topography of marriage--a partnership in which our spouse is less someone who fulfills desires than one who cajoles and demands that we grow as individuals. The author is a careful teacher who talks about many facets of married life--parenting, sex, emotional intimacy, emotional loss, and salvation. He excels at placing the demands of marriage in a spiritual context and showing how the Church supports our struggle to grow. We marry because we seek growth; this audio convinces us that, with thoughtful effort, we will. T.W. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 05]
