Close to Our Hearts

Does taking a lifelong vow still make sense today? The twenty-four contributors to this book, all internationally recognized specialists in marriage, show from a variety of perspectives that it remains profoundly meaningful to understand marriage as a shared path that leads to maturity. Not only do the authors present fundamental theological and philosophical ideas from the past two thousand five hundred years, but they also speak about their own personal experiences.
