The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life

Encounter the realities of Catholic marriage.

"This book should be in every home. In fact, you might want to buy two — one for you and one for your spouse. "The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful," is written from rich experience of marriage, with all its joys and with all the challenges that are especially characteristic of our times. In Edward's and Beth's struggles, and through their counsel, so many couples will find healing, encouragement, and light; We sure did.”

–Dr. Scott and Kimberly Hahn, authors of Rome, Sweet Home

God draws spouses closer to the Heavenly marriage through the sanctifying power of the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

However, that means it is not always easy, and it certainly is not like what newlyweds may imagine.

In The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life, Edward and Beth Sri - national marriage speakers - show readers that the struggles of marriage are to be expected and, even more so, they are purifying us to make us saints.

No marriage is perfect, and neither is the Sri’s. This book is packed full of hilarious and relatable stories from their 20+ years of marriage. From their experience, see helpful tips, mindsets, and reminders of how to live out the beautiful vocation of marriage.

In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, God has an incredible vocation for all for spouses. The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful goes into the nitty-gritty, explaining what to do when reality hits—when the rubber hits the road.
