In society and on television, we see a distorted, false image of marriage. All around us, friends and family members are no longer even getting married, and so we young people, at least youngCatholics, need the voice of the Church.<br><br>A catechism for young people must include testimonies from young people themselves.

It's a revolution in love.<br><br>Some topics discussed include how to tell if a relationship is toxic, the role of jealousy, and how to deal with loneliness or sexuality.<br><br>Many people equate love solely with a feeling that lasts only as long as the intensity does.
