God's Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage is a new, supplemental marriage preparation program by renowned Catholic author and teacher Christopher West, based on Pope John Paul II's revolutionary Theology of the Body.

This DVD includes a Full-Length Version of eight talks and a Segments Version, with easy-to-use navigation menus. The forty-three shorter video segments enable marriage preparation facilitators to utilize select aspects of the original video program while enhancing their own live presentations of the God's Plan content.

Here, you will find a much-needed testimony to the essential interrelation between love, life, and sexuality, and discover how a deep appreciation for this interrelation is the path to a blessed and joy-filled marriage.

Why were we created male and female?
Where do we come from and why?
