Courtship of the Saints

How the Saints Met their Spouses

By: O'Hearn Patrick

Narrated by: Larry Odom

“I think this book could help a lot of people.” —Fr. Chad Ripperger

The greatest lovers in the history of the world were the saints, those who sought to love God above everything. For those saints called to marriage, it was God’s love that led them to pursue their spouse in a most pure and holy courtship.

Courtship of the Saints reveals how 25 saintly couples, including Joachim and Anne, Joseph and Mary, Elizabeth of Hungary and Louis IV, Gianna and Pietro Molla, Louis and Zélie Martin, and others, met their spouses. From the most ordinary to the most extraordinary circumstances, one thing is clear: Divine Providence was at work. In these pages, you will also discover what courtship is according to Archbishop Fulton Sheen and Father Chad Ripperger.

In a world of lust, confusion, disappointment, and broken marriages, these saintly couples will inspire you to begin waiting and praying for a virtuous spouse. Still more, they offer wisdom and practical advice for those already married. Better than any romance novel, these stories will captivate your heart and reveal how the saints loved with passion and joy, enduring all trials with peace—for a blessed marriage is the fruit of a holy courtship.

Lovely stories

I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a spouse. The recording was easy to listen to. I enjoyed each part of the book. Lots of different examples of how relationships can start and end. Lovely prayers at the end of the book to meditate on as well. Most importantly teaches what to look for in a long lasting Christian Marriage. Thank you.
