Publisher Description

Couples who marry today enter into a relationship that is in many ways more challenging than it was a generation or two ago. The social institution of marriage has experienced almost cataclysmic change. The very foundations of marriage are often questioned. Yet Christian marriage, David Thomas insists, retains a power to transform and sanctify lives. Thomas presents in this second edition of "Christian Marriage" the same view as he did in his first book: a positive view of Christian marriage grounded in sacramental living. Yet this edition is entirely new as Thomas reflects on how current theological, cultural, and economic perspectives influence and inform Christian marriage. Thus "A Journey Together" (the subtitle of the earlier edition) becomes "The New Challenge". And readers enter with Thomas into a discussion of contemporary concerns such as intimacy and sexuality, gender equality and relational spirituality, and parenting with hope in a world of unknowns. Facing these challenges of marriage, Christian couples will discover ways to meet the "one great challenge: to love each other as Christ Jesus has and continues to love us." "Catholics reading this book will be stunned at the clarity and depth of their Church's vision of marriage. David Thomas combines his rich experience as lay theologian, husband, and father with language and images that sparkle and wake us up to the marvelous mystery of this sacrament!" - Susan Stith, Family Life Director, Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
