Embracing God's Beautiful Design for Marriage

God has a beautiful design for your marriage. Have you discovered it?

Blueprints for building a family seem to abound today. But the countless plans proposed don’t all agree, and married couples are often left confused. Where can we turn for a true vision of what it takes to build happy, healthy, holy families?

Kimberley Hahn takes us back to the One who designed marriage in the first place. God’s wonderful plan for the family is clearly revealed in the time-tested teachings of the Catholic Church.

Hahn offers a fresh but deeply rooted perspective on the true meaning of marital love and its implications for a number of significant issues: natural family planning, contraception, infertility, abortion, sterilization, and miscarriage. She draws from Scripture and Church teachings as well as poignant personal experiences from dozens of families who share their stories. Their testimony will help you rediscover the path of prayer, sacrifice, and self-discipline that God intends for married couples--the path of life-giving love.

THE LOVE LANGUAGES OF GOD 
   Add to basketBasket
How to Feel and Reflect Divine Love

The craving for love is our deepest emotional need. Each of us feels loved when others speak our primary love language. We are drawn to that person because he or she is meeting our basic need to feel loved.

The love languages in human relationships are a reflection of divine love. If man is indeed made in the image of God, then we would expect to find all five love languages (and more!) expressed in the character and nature of God.

Dr. Chapman's goal for readers is that they may be led to explore the possibility of speaking different love languages to God and thus expanding their own understanding of God and others.
