The saints, those who strived to love God above all else, were the greatest lovers in world history. God's love drove those saints called to marriage to seek their spouse in a most pure and holy courting. Courtship of the Saints tells the story of how twenty-five holy couples met their spouses, including Joachim and Anne, Joseph and Mary, Elizabeth of Hungary and Louis IV, Gianna and Pietro Molla, Louis and Zélie Martin, and others. One thing is certain: Divine Providence was at work, from the most mundane to the most spectacular events. You will also learn what romance is according to Archbishop Fulton Sheen and Father Chad Ripperger on these pages. In a society filled with desire, uncertainty, disappointment, and failed marriages, these holy couples will encourage you to start looking for a virtuous spouse and praying for one. Furthermore, they provide knowledge and practical advise to people who are already married. These anecdotes will grab your heart more than any romance story, revealing how the saints loved with passion and joy, suffering all difficulties with peace—for a good marriage is the fruit of a holy courtship.
