Book-YOUCAT Love Forever

YOUCAT Love Forever is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the Church’s teachings on love and marriage, especially those who are considering marriage. Developed by a YOUCAT team of married couples, priests, and theologians, this book offers profound insights and practical guidance on the path to lasting love. Based on 1,000 questions and suggestions from young people in over 30 countries around the world.

YOUCAT Love Forever answers the questions about Christian marriage, gender, and the big questions about human sexuality that young people are asking today. More importantly, it shares how you can experience the joy and beauty of living as man and woman as God created us to be, and it provides practical guidance for looking for a spouse, preparing for marriage, and living as one after marriage.

Uses: Many of the YOUCAT books can be used as a primary text to guide an entire year of classroom instruction. The sequential progression of the material, mirroring the fourfold structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, makes it an easy-to-use text that unfolds with the school year. However, the books are structured so that you can focus only on the key areas that you want to cover. The choice is yours.
