To commit oneself seriously is to make a responsible choice. This requirement is all the more essential when it comes to a commitment as serious and definitive as marriage. The engagement period remains the time for deepening heterosexual love with a view to a shared, exclusive and lifelong partnership. This period is of great importance, as it directly prepares the couple for married life and must be lived in truth, tolerance, openness, deep dialogue and so on. These values must be cultivated during marriage preparation. The irony is that many young people only learn these things one or two months before their wedding. Far from being a moral treatise or a 'pre-marital' catechesis, this book offers practical answers to the questions of thousands of young people in our region and in our time. In a world undergoing profound ideological change and lacking role models to emulate, these questions aim to provide an understanding of the mechanisms for responsibly guiding and managing the relationship between a young man and a young woman as it progresses from friendship to marriage.
