Study Guide
Three bad marriages. One masterclass in what the sacrament is actually for.
Pride and Prejudice might be the most stirring treatise on Catholic marriage you'll ever read — and it was written by an Anglican. Our study guide analyzes Lydia and Wickham, Charlotte and Mr. Collins, and the painfully relatable Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, and shows how all of it shapes the extraordinary love story of Elizabeth and Darcy. It turns out that the most important thing in premarital prep is learning how to have a good fight.
This study guide is part of The Protoevangelium Collection — eleven complete guides for eleven beloved books, available as a PDF download, ebook, or paperback.
