Man, Woman, and the Meaning of Love: Gods Plan for Love, Marriage, Intimacy, and the Family

Love, Marriage, And Sex: Rescued From Talk-Show Hucksters And Pop Psychology!

These days, it's hard to avoid absorbing at least some of the poisonous assumptions about love, marriage, and sex that are retailed by our hedonistic secular culture. But here's help! In this wise book, Dietrich von Hildebrand reveals the beauty and splendor of the Church's teachings on love and intimacy - teachings that are in danger of being forgotten today even among Catholics.

With remarkable practical simplicity, Von Hildebrand shows you the great truths of love, and how to apply them to your marriage, family life, and friendships in order to make them what they ought to be in God's sight. His approach is deeply imbued with his awareness of the sacramental dignity of marriage, and of how the Church's teachings on sexuality - even the most controversial ones - all flow from her profound understanding of love.

Fearlessly and incisively, Von Hildebrand also exposes the many false notions of love that abound today - including an approach to love that is widespread among Christians and yet almost always ends in failure. Nor does he stop there! He points out other common pitfalls, including basic errors concerning the meaning and value of marriage. He even reveals the mistakes that many Christian authors make about marital sexuality!

All this and more makes Man, Woman, and the Meaning of Love a valuable resource in your efforts to take back the culture for Christ - and a handy tool to help you improve your marriage and communicate the Church's wonderful vision of intimacy to those you love.
