Sex & marriage covenant

I love this book. I haven't read the entire thing yet, but have gone through parts of it. It's such an important aspect of relationships, to have boundaries! When you're dating, there are certain things you save for marriage; and in marriage, you don't just throw away all boundaries, out of respect for each other, of the covenant you made, and of the Lord! --not bc you're afraid of punishment from a God who is holding us back from enjoying life & freedom... but because God has shown us the way of Love; his law; which will produce a relationship that is healthy, full of trust, two beings who totally respect each other, and even if/when they are hurt there is forgiveness!, and they can agree on how to move on bc they share core beliefs, based in scripture, that will always bring them together again and will always provide THE solution.

Nobody said true teachings are easy teachings.

John Kippley, both in this book and with his his organization, the Couple to Couples League International, has done a great service for Catholic couples during our age of high dissent. To get an idea of how powerful an argument this book gives, I may mention that this was the book that started Scott Hahn on his path to Catholicism (his review appears on the inside back cover).Kippley proves his case from every conceivable angle; from scriptural covenant theology, from the Magisterium, and from scripture directly. While he is presenting his case, he does a wonderful job dispelling objections, handling the hard cases, and putting an end to the propoganda that our liberal society pits against what they like to call "Papal roulette", or Natural Family Planning.I very highly recommend this book for couples, singles, and teachers who are interested in this topic. Whether you are unconvinced but are sincere in following God's will (Catholic or Protestant), or if you are already convinced and would like a more effective tool with which you can share this teaching with others, this book is for you.

A thorough, loving, and helpful book on marital relations

As a mathematics teacher and engineer, I appreciated the straightforwardness, the logic and above all the thoroughness of this book. All married couples, couples contemplating marriages, teachers and ministers, that have any belief in God, should read it. Detailed history is presented on the use of contraceptives and why they were feared not only by the religious leaders of all faiths but also the general public. Calvin, Luther and other prominent Protestants as well as Roman Catholics are quoted. The insights of the religious leaders of by gone years are phenomenal in that these people predicted that the use of contraceptives in marriage would lead to the break down of marriage, the abuse of women and wide spread promiscuous behavior. Mr. Kippley also shows the readers, in a very lovely way, many aspects of marriage. These aspects along with a healthy and sacred view of conjugal relations will help all couples over the tough times and lead to a more loving and caring society.

A must-read for every Christian couple.

A book which explains why contraception is wrong, and much more. Exposes the abortifacient nature of most contraceptive devices. Very valuable indeed.
