Discovering Hidden Grace in the Sacrament of Matrimony
By: Dr. David Anders
So begins David Anders in this remarkably forthright book. In it, David reports that by the early 2000s, his marriage was so painful he actually longed for death. It wasnโt simple incompatibility; he and his wife had just one thing in common: contempt for each other.
Today, David and his wife are happy together โ not because of marriage therapy, but because they came to know and fully embraced the Catholic Churchโs teachings on marriage.
Many people who encounter such teachings are shocked by their rigor. Yet the Church offers much more than rules about sexual restraint; she offers a way to make marriage into something supernatural, even mystical.
Here Dr. Andersย shares his personal discovery of the Churchโs teaching on marriage and offers a robust defense of the Churchโs most controversial teachings, including divorce, remarriage, gay marriage, and contraception.
With the Churchโs teachings and the writings of the saints as his guide, he also offers practical, time-tested ways to improve your marriage, such as how to live in peace despite an unhappy marriage, the value of suffering, and ways to overcome your reluctance to forgive grave offenses.
In a culture that breaks apart marriages and undermines human dignity, Dr. Davidย Anders offers a hope-filled alternative for those who live moral and spiritual lives in union with Christ and His Church.
