Seeks to answer a perennial diffculty in the Catholic theology of marriage: how do the practice and bond of marriage lead to Christian perfection in spouses and their children? The thesis is that the language of the evangelical virtues, a rule of life, and robust preparation belongs as properly to marriage as to consecrated religious life. Both states are specifications of a common baptismal consecration to Christ himself.
