Holier Matrimony




Every once in a while, a book comes along that is potentially life-changing because of its unique thesis.


Holier Matrimony: Married Saints, Catholic Vows, and Sacramental Grace is such a book.


Author Caitrin Bennett has done an incredible job of making the case that Catholic marriage can be holier and happier if husbands and wives take advantage of the examples of the saints...live out their vows more fully...and rely on sacramental grace to carry them through.


I was captivated by the saints she profiles--everyone from Saints Louis and Zelie Martin to the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph. Caitrin has an engaging style which makes this book a true joy to read.


This is also the type of book that brides and grooms should treasure for its wisdom and insight. At a time when so much of our culture shuns marriage, this work embraces it in a powerful, life-giving way.


As Caitrin writes, "An exemplary Christian marriage is one in which the spouses strive to live saintly lives,, rely on God's grace, and commit wholeheartedly to their marital vows."


Holier Matrimony is more than a book--it is a movement that can strengthen our families and our Church.
