Written by a Catholic laywoman and a Catholic priest, this book looks at both the underlying theology and practical approaches to the Catholic wedding.

Authored by two married women and a priest, 101 Questions and Answers on Catholic Married Life will, as the authors say, "help facilitate communication between a married couple and among married couples." It draws on the authors' experiences and research with married couples to examine: marriage as a domestic church, the reality of marriage, the support of our Catholic spiritual heritage available to married couples. In addition to these important points, the text also covers the following important topics covered in all Engaged Encounter and Marriage Encounter retreats: communication, sexuality, children, finances, and in-laws. Book jacket.

For Catholics, marriage isnt just an institution: Its a sacrament.

Table of Contents: The churches -- History -- The workings of the church.

The latest entry in a popular question-and-answer series, The Catholic Wedding Answer Book answers 101 questions from the basic to the historical and from the practical to the theological. Clergy can use this authoritative work to answer questions from engaged couples, to search for solutions to pastoral dilemmas, to help determine sensible wedding guidelines for the parish. Because this book answers so many frequently asked questions, engaged couples will want this book for themselves -- and parishes may want to provide each couple with a copy well in advance of their wedding. RCIA team leaders, who routinely work with couples about to join this church, will want this valuable reference work as well.
