Originally created for marriage preparation, the Beloved series is enriching and transforming marriages in homes across the globe.

The Little Way of Marriage
The Little Way of Marriage is a spiritual and practical roadmap to help your Catholic marriage, based on the spirituality of St. Therese of Lisieux. St. Therese became one of the greatest saints by learning to do little things with great love. She teaches us how to be other-centered, how to trust in God, and how little actions done for others with great love can transform our lives (and the world!) The Little Way of Marriage takes those powerful spiritual truths from St. Therese and shows you step-by-step how to apply them to your marriage.
