Blueprints for building a family seem to abound today. But the countless plans proposed don’t all agree, and married couples are often left confused. Where can we turn for a true vision of what it takes to build happy, healthy, holy families?

Kimberly Hahn takes us back to the One who designed marriage in the first place. God’s wonderful plan for the family is clearly revealed in the time-tested teachings of the Catholic Church.

Hahn offers a fresh but deeply rooted perspective on the true meaning of marital love and its implications for a number of significant issues: natural family planning, contraception, infertility, abortion, sterilization, and miscarriage. She draws from Scripture and Church teachings as well as poignant personal experiences from dozens of families who share their stories. Their testimony will help you rediscover the path of prayer, sacrifice, and self-discipline that God intends for married couples--the path of life-giving love.
