St. John Chrysostom who wrote and preached in the mid to late 4th century was a contemporary of St. Augustine. An eloquent preacher, his 'On Marriage and the Family Life' covers topics such as the roles of husband and wife, the place of Christian love in the home, and how a wedding reception should be conducted with the glory of Christ in mind. For those pursuing the married life, there is great wisdom in 'How to Choose a Wife'. A book that will enrich the home and provide much needed biblical guidance for family life.
