What has gone wrong? The emergence of these difficulties coincided with the so-called "sexual revolution" of the 1960's which for some meant abandoning all norms and taboos regarding sexual behavior.

Broken marriages, single parent families, teenage pregnancies-these are but
a few indicators of the troubled family life that has spread through Europe
and America in the last few decades. What has gone wrong? The emergence of
these difficulties coincided with the so-called "sexual revolution"
of the 1960's which for some meant abandoning all norms and taboos regarding
sexual behavior. Contraceptives like the pill were hailed as great liberators
of women, freeing them from the domination of men and the slavery of childbearing.
When the Catholic Church reaffirmed its teaching against the use of contraceptives,
it was generally ignored by Catholics and ridiculed by the media. Could this
radical but unheeded message have been a prophetic voice predicting the present
crisis of the family?In as society where instant gratification and materialism
are idolized, love is often misconceived as merely getting what you want when
you want it. The contraceptive mentality transfers that misconception into
married love, betraying the true meaning of sexuality and poisoning the heart
of the family. In recent years, many married couples who used contraception
have been waking up to this, and finding a healthy, effective alternative
to responsible parenthood in Natural Family Planning. This volume gathers
the testimonies of 48 such couples. Each couple has traveled a unique path,
but the have all discovered the same wonderful reality: true joy in marriage
and family life comes not from getting, but from giving, from undertaking
the adventure of authentic, generous love.Is this true sense of love the missing
cornerstone that could restore stability and vigor to family life? These testimonies
offer a convincing and inspiring answer to that pressing question.p>

Detailed Description
God's Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage is a marriage preparation supplement
that offers engaged couples a more complete understanding of God's glorious
plan for marriage and human sexuality than perhaps any program available in
the Church today. Based on Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body, this
supplement is intended to enhance a key component of marriage preparation:
catechesis in the theology of marriage and the gift of human sexuality.
This DVD includes a Full-Length Version of eight talks and a Segments Version,
with easy-to-use navigation menus. The forty-three shorter video segments
enable marriage preparation facilitators to utilize select aspects of the
original video program while enhancing their own live presentations of the
God's Plan content. (Segment descriptions can be found in the accompanying

will find a much-needed testimony to the essential interrelation between love,
life, and sexuality, and discover how a deep appreciation for this interrelation

The Theology of the Body has been called "one of the boldest reconfigurations
of Catholic Theology in centuries," according to George Weigel, the pope's
official biographer. It addresses some of the most fundamental and
important questions of human existence, including:
Why were we created male and female?
Where do we come from and why?
What is the meaning of life? How do we experience it?
Why is there evil in the world and how do we overcome it?
