God's Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage

God"s Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage provides couples with a rich understanding of the teachings of the Church and offers them the tools to live married life as God intended. The creators of the program believe that when engaged couples understand God’s plan for marriage, including a clear and pastoral explanation of the “difficult teachings,” they come away from the program with a sense of liberation and gratitude rather than resentment toward the Church.” (www.ascensionpress.com)

“This supplement is not a replacement to current diocesan or parish programs. It is intended to enhance a key component of marriage preparation: catechesis in the theology of marriage and the gift of human sexuality. God’s Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage offers a refreshing, liberating vision of marriage and sexuality—one that helps couples fully embrace, and even celebrate, God’s glorious plan for their lives.
