Dan and Danielle Bean, married for 25 years and veteran parents of 8 children, offer a modern take on an ancient idea: in marriage, we are called to something greater than ourselves. What can that mean in a modern world that abhors sacrifice, rejects the concept of permanence, and devalues the sacrament of marriage? <p> Pulling from the wisdom of the Church and lessons learned from their own real-life experience, Dan and Danielle reflect on the ideas of: <ul><li>Vocation, </li><li>Sacrament, </li><li>Sacrifice, </li><li>Mutual Love, </li><li>And Home and Family Life.</li></ul> <br> With personal stories, humor, touching insight, and practical suggestions, they offer complementary reflections, as husband and wife, on the value and meaning of marriage for Christians today. <p> This book also features a rich collection of Catholic marriage resources, including: <ul><li>Prayers for Marriage, </li><li>Teachings of the Church, </li><li>Scripture for Marriage and Family, </li><li>Wisdom from the Saints, </li><li>And Hymns.</li></ul> <br> A thoughtful gift for engaged couples and newlyweds, this book is also a practical resource that can inspire and rejuvenate long-married and even struggling couples. <br>
