Praise
“Marriage for God’s Sake is a trusted vade mecum for all Catholic couples, a practical guide for the universal tasks of marriage (courtship, marital intimacy, money, savings, work, children, temptations). With this book as your friend, you and your spouse can mature into one of those elderly couples whom it is a joy to see hold hands as they walk together. Buy it, read it, then go back to it for years to come.” —PATRICK FAGAN, Director, MARRI (Marriage and Religion Research Institute) at Catholic University of America
“Readers will not find a better or more comprehensive book on the sanctity and heroism of ‘the primordial sacrament’ than Fr. Morrow’s masterpiece on Catholic marriage. We come away from this omnibus on holy marriage wanting to offer our entire soul for our spouse. Whether your marriage is on the rocks, finely tuned, or brimming with romance, this book will augment your marital union!” —KEVIN WELLS, author of Priest and Beggar
“A marriage, like anything human, is made up of habits, good and bad. Good habits make for a good marriage, and Fr. Morrow is a master at identifying them and teaching us how to acquire them. Don’t be fooled by his modest tone. This book can save the world.” —MIKE AQUILINA, author of Feasts of Our Fathers
“Marriage for God’s Sake is a great resource for couples, and for therapists, clergy, and coaches who work with them, to make their marriages holy and healthy. It is chock-full of practical advice and humorous stories from a parish priest who has worked with countless couples throughout his forty-two years of ministry in the Church. A wonderful book that provides insight into the beauty and richness of marriage.” —PATRICIA C. ADAMS, M.S. LPC, Catholic mental health practitioner
