Discernment of a Future Spouse: A 40-Day Catholic Guide
By Deacon Pat Kearns

Choosing a spouse is one of the most important decisions a Catholic will ever make-one that impacts not only earthly happiness but eternal destiny. In a culture that often confuses love with fleeting attraction, the Church invites us to rediscover marriage as a holy vocation, a sacred covenant rooted in God's plan for human love.

This 40-day guide offers a prayerful and practical journey for men and women discerning the call to marriage. Each day includes a Scripture passage, a reflection rich in Catholic teaching, and questions for personal prayer and journaling. The guide helps you to:

• Understand marriage as a sacrament and vocation.

• Reflect on your own readiness for lifelong commitment.

• Recognize the virtues essential for a holy spouse.

• Discern God's will with clarity, patience, and peace.

• Place Christ at the center of your journey toward love.

Through Scripture, wisdom from the saints, and practical guidance, this workbook accompanies you step by step in listening to God's voice. Whether you are single, dating, or engaged, Discernment of a Future Spouse will help you seek not merely "the right person," but to become the person God calls you to be-ready to enter into a covenant of faithful, sacrificial love.
