"In their book, Jim and Carol Steffen outline a very simple recipe for a strong, healthy marriage. By asking one question a day, husbands and wives can work together to build a relationship that endures.
"I invite couples of all ages and experience to take up Jim and Carol's challenge of growing True Love That Lasts using
the one question a day."
New Directory for Catechesis 2020
Paragraph 232a emphasized not to focus on just marriage preparation
A marriage relationship is a living thing.
Like all living things, if it's not growing, it's dying!
The focus should be on lifetime formation and growth.
Executive Director Donovan: The book is very timely because its a proven method to implement the New Directory—growing in the enjoyment and love of your spouse a little bit each day, for a lifetime.
