The Goodness of Marriage is an inspirational book for newlyweds, those contemplating marriage, and married couples of all ages. Presented in a prayerful manner, it provides reflections on the major issues of marriage. Ministers will find the book useful when counseling couples preparing for marriage, while couples will discover that the chapters, which are divided into 31 short readings — one for each day of the first month of marriage — are helpful in preparing a solid foundation. The book stresses the importance of building marriage on a lively faith in God while loving one another each day of this lifelong journey together.
