In this honest, clear, and timely exploration of marital spirituality as the search for hidden ground of love, the Mcdonalds combine, as the old marriage adage says, 'something old and something new.' Their 'something old' is the notion of God as the ground of genuine married love. Their 'something new' is a fresh look at marital process that offers couples four ways to encourage a richer spirituality in their married lives: developing a more sensitized bonding; opening themselves to an experience of the sacred; embracing the personal God; creating a marriage that is more contemplative. Patrick and Claudette McDonald weave the spiritual practice of Lectio Divina (a rich experience steeped in reading and praying with scripture), ancient wisdom, stories, anecdotes, personal experience and contemporary interpersonal process to help lead couples into the hidden ground of love.
