Living Together, Loving Together
A Spiritual Guide to Marriage
by Philip St. Romain and Lisa Bellecci-st.romain
When marriage goes well, there is perhaps no greater human happiness; but when it goes poorly, there may be no greater misery!
Having known “both the joyful and the painful sides of married life,” Philip St. Romain and Lisa Bellecci-st.romain offer three major insights for turning marriage into a lifelong positive adventure.
Faith . . . that God’s love is always there, ready to bless
a marriage.
Commitment . . . to making the marriage the most important
human relationship for both partners.
Communication . . . to prevent misunderstandings, hurt feelings,
and futile conflicts.
Living Together, Loving Together is designed for couples to read together or separately, then pause, discuss, and pray together. Wherever you are in your marriage, this rare blend of faith-building spiritual counsel and problem-solving practical advice is an aid to finding (or keeping) that close bond you have always wanted with your spouse.
