Courtship of the Saints

How the Saints Met their Spouses

“I think this book could help a lot of people.” —Fr. Chad Ripperger

The greatest lovers in the history of the world were the saints, those who sought to love God above everything. For those saints called to marriage, it was God’s love that led them to pursue their spouse in a most pure and holy courtship.

Courtship of the Saints reveals how 25 saintly couples, including Joachim and Anne, Joseph and Mary, Elizabeth of Hungary and Louis IV, Gianna and Pietro Molla, Louis and Zélie Martin, and others, met their spouses. From the most ordinary to the most extraordinary circumstances, one thing is clear: Divine Providence was at work. In these pages, you will also discover what courtship is according to Archbishop Fulton Sheen and Father Chad Ripperger.

In a world of lust, confusion, disappointment, and broken marriages, these saintly couples will inspire you to begin waiting and praying for a virtuous spouse. Still more, they offer wisdom and practical advice for those already married. Better than any romance novel, these stories will captivate your heart and reveal how the saints loved with passion and joy, enduring all trials with peace—for a blessed marriage is the fruit of a holy courtship.

Lovely stories

I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a spouse. The recording was easy to listen to. I enjoyed each part of the book. Lots of different examples of how relationships can start and end. Lovely prayers at the end of the book to meditate on as well. Most importantly teaches what to look for in a long lasting Christian Marriage. Thank you.

Outstanding!!

Refreshing and on point! It illustrates and explains the importance of a righteous spouse and the role they play on the path of sainthood

insightful

as a single man in his 20s I don't really think too much about marriage at all but this book gives an amazing perspective on how what happens in this moment will ultimately affect the quality of all future relationships l.

Beautiful set up for heading into or deepening your relationship

The stories are extremely beautiful and the guidelines are definitely different but should become the norm again.

Wish I read this years ago!!!

Beautifully written; the love, passion, and desires of the saints were expressed so descriptively in this book. Great testimonies, and fantastic instruction for each stage
