Pre-Owned The Good, the Messy and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life, (Paperback)

"Many go into marriage thinking, "This is it! We've got the rings, the spouse, the sacrament--now our life together can really begin!" So it can be a shock when struggles and trials emerge. Frustrations. Arguments. Hurts, Feeling overwhelmed. Lack of unity. Lack of trust. Edward and Beth Sri, national Catholic presenters, vulnerably share their own experience of the joys and struggles of real married life. They remind us that the challenging aspects of a marriage are not only to be expected but are the very places Jesus wants to meet us and do his most important work. They are also the places that surprisingly can be a gateway to a greater love and a lasting joy."--Page [4] of cover.
