Why would couples and families spend time with “The Joy of Love”? One reason is that it shares countless points of concrete, practical advice for “building sound and fruitful homes.”
Furthermore, the pope’s kindness toward families is always apparent here.
If, on the one hand, he affirms that a family’s continued growth in love “is a never-ending vocation,” he also cautions against “judging harshly those who live in situations of frailty.”
