I read this book right before I got married. This was absolutely the right thing for me to do. This book brought me to tears. It is well worth your time. You should definitely read it, especially if you are going to get married or if you are already married. John Chrysostom is unsurpassed in his Scriptural exposition of the mystery/sacrament of marriage as well as in his explanations as to how you should love, forgive, and bear with your partner. John Chrysostom's explanations are very practical. This book is for daily, practical usage in your marriage.
