This booklet explains why, using seven keywords, taken from Scripture and the Marriage Rite, to speak of the beauty of Marriage, the strength and joy it gives to husband and wife, to their humanity, family and to society at large. Seven chapters dwell on 7 words: ‘Raphael’, ‘I take thee’, ‘Ring’, ‘Blessing’, ‘Nuptial bed’, ‘Cana’, ‘Sunem’, explaining their significance for the couple and their life’s project together, with a reflection and a practical ‘point’ for the couple to hold onto.
