On Marriage and Family Life

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the significance of marriage, St. John Chrysostom offers a corrective perspective on the Christian view of married life, particularly regarding sexuality. Drawing inspiration from the epistles to the Corinthians and Ephesians, he emphasizes that marriage is primarily intended to foster holiness between spouses, with procreation as a secondary purpose. His sermons address sexual relations, mutual responsibilities, and parenting, providing timeless insights that remain relevant for contemporary Christian families, despite some context-specific elements.
