What the Church Fathers Say about Marriage

By St John Chrysostom

Marriage is more than a commitment. It is a sacred bond designed by God. What the Church Fathers Say about Marriage brings to life the wisdom of St John Chrysostom and other Church Fathers, offering practical and spiritual insight for every couple who wants to build a Christ-centred marriage.

The Fathers of the early Church spoke to married people with remarkable honesty and warmth. In these pages their teaching speaks directly to the heart of couples today:

Mutual respect between husband and wife.

The deeper purpose of unity in marriage.

The beauty of love, and how to guard it.

The challenges and joys of raising children in the faith.

The joy found in living out God's design for marriage.

This book will inspire you to see marriage not just as a partnership but as a calling, and let the wisdom of the ancients guide you in growing a relationship grounded in faith, love and purpose.

It is ideal for:

Engaged couples preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage.

Newly married and long-married couples alike.

Priests and servants leading marriage preparation or family ministry.

Readers interested in patristic teaching on family life.

Short and easy to read together, it makes a meaningful gift for a wedding, an engagement or an anniversary, and a helpful companion for any couple who wants Christ at the centre of their home.
