Meeting ID 841 6324 5219
Passcode 418567Read Chapters 5-8: The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life
Encounter the realities of Catholic marriage.God draws spouses closer to the Heavenly marriage through the sanctifying power of the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.
However, that means it is not always easy, and it certainly is not like what newlyweds may imagine.
In The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life, Edward and Beth Sri―national marriage speakers―show readers that the struggles of marriage are to be expected and, even more so, they are purifying us to make us saints.
No marriage is perfect, and neither is the Sri’s. This book is packed full of hilarious and relatable stories from their 20+ years of marriage. From their experience, see helpful tips, mindsets, and reminders of how to live out the beautiful vocation of marriage.
In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, God has an incredible vocation for all spouses. The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful goes into the nitty-gritty, explaining what to do when reality hits―when the rubber hits the road.
From discussions about
- Miscommunication
- Healing
- Intimacy
- Gifts
- And more
you will dive into new depths of the reality of Catholic marriage―from the messy to the beautiful―in this practical, entertaining, and wise book.
The paperback book will be available for sale after all the Masses this weekend 4/22-23 ($15 each)
