This is what every counter-cultural bride needs in today's world obsessed with over-the-top wedding celebration and instagram-perfect aesthetics. While the visual/party details of the wedding day are important, they are not nearly as important as preparing for a lifetime together with your beloved. This book allows a bride to take a breather from all the vendors trying to convince them to spend loads of money on the stuff that won't last and focus her heart on Christ at the center of the sacrament of matrimony. A perfect engagement or bridal shower gift!
I only wish I had something like this to read through before I got married. Too often, it's the wedding that is solely focused on and all the little details and the marriage is lost in the weeds. I think this is a great book for a soon-to-be bride. Chloe encourages her reader to slow down and savor this precious time of preparing to enter into marriage. There are reflections areas where you can journal and get your thoughts out. My favorite part of this book is that she clearly and beautifully weaves our Christian faith into this time of preparation. Marriage is a beautiful sacrament, one that should be entered into with God at the head. I will definitely be giving this to my daughters.
Where was this 30 years ago. Engaging, Informative, Inspirational. Created for Love will be included in every Bridal Shower gift I buy from here on it! Exceptional work from Chloe Langr
Such a great book to read to prepare for marriage! In the midst of the craziness of wedding planning, it's so great to take time to read these beautiful reflections to grow in our identity as daughters of God and prepare for the Sacrament! Loving it!
