Summary/Abstract: At a time when the number of sacramental marriages is drastically decreasing, it is appropriate to offer the Good News of love meant to last a lifetime. The contribution details the perspective of this ministry to married couples according to the five steps of any sacramental ministry: to propose abundantly, to welcome without reserve, to encourage a progression (personal and spiritual growth), to celebrate in beauty, and to accompany the mystagogical follow-up.
