people need to be encouraged on their path through life. In his Apostolic Exhortation Amoris laetitia, Pope Francis asked for a better preparation and accompaniment of couples who are preparing for marriage and couples who are already married. This book offers essential guidelines, emphasizing those aspects of marriage that most need to be stressed; at the same time it sets out to use practical questions as a stimulus for further reflection. The authors aim to offer practical recommendations as to how the marriage vows can be lived faithfully and successfully so that the adventure of marriage is not a leap into the unknown but an achievable challenge with the grace of God.
