"Happy 50th Episode of the Chris Stefanick Show! Thank you guys for sticking with me for 50 episodes of fascinating people living in the joy of the Lord. Here’s to 50 more! 
Today, we are diving into a previously unreleased never-before-seen work of Pope St. John Paul II with Peter and Theresa Martin, and it has the power to CHANGE THE WORLD! 
How can it change the world? 
By transforming good and holy marriages, one couple at a time.  As Archbishop of Krakow, Karol Wojtyła wrote a Rule for Marriages to support couples in his archdiocese. 
The Martins have translated this rule into English for the first time and expanded upon it to form a framework for couples to live our their marriage vows with a deeper love and joy than ever before. We chat about how this book came to be, how intentional community with other married couples makes your marriage STRONGER, and why living according to Catholic sexual ethics and openness to life can feel scary, but is such a beautiful adventure with your spouse and with God! 
I encourage you to share this with your spouse and a couple you know who would benefit from watching this episode this week. Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!"

"This is a book about love; more exactly, it is about the love that knows no end, the love our hearts yearn for. The love that consumes, that reverberates, that heightens—it is a love that costs everything—yet offers everything. - Theresa and Peter Martin, The Rule
When the young priest Fr. Karol Wojtyla was living in Poland, he wrote a “rule” for married couples, similar to the protocols that religious orders follow for their way of life. His suggestions were born out of his deep friendships with young married couples who he observed and who helped him see what married couples need to do to find true life within the married vocation. We heard about this book and were immediately intrigued, so we invited Theresa and Peter Martin to share with us more about their book, how it came to be, and about The Rule itself. In this podcast, we talk about the challenges of married life and how the Church can help us live a life of grace, the role of children in this quest of holiness, and what a life of prayer looks like in the home. Most importantly, we talk about community and how essential it is for families to support each other in their common life. Listen in and see how you can join in this movement of married couples living the Rule outlined by St. John Paul II.
