Happy is good. But holy is better. Your marriage is more than a sacred covenant with another person. It is a spiritual discipline designed to help you know God better, trust him more fully, and love him more deeply. What if God’s primary intent for your marriage isn’t to make you happy . . . but holy?
Sacred Marriage doesn't just offer techniques to make a marriage happier. It does contain practical tools, but what married Christians most need is help in becoming holier husbands and wives. Sacred Marriage offers that help with insights from Scripture, church history, time tested wisdom from Christian classics, and examples from today's marriages.
Sacred Marriage reveals how marriage trains us to love God and others well, how it exposes sin and makes us more aware of God's presence, how good marriages foster good prayer, how married sex feeds the spiritual life, and more.
The revised edition of Sacred Marriage takes into account the ways men's and women's roles have expanded since the book was first written. It has been streamlined to be a faster read without losing the depth that so many readers have valued.
Sacred Marriage uncovers the mystery of God’s overarching purpose. This book may very well alter profoundly the contours of your marriage. It will most certainly change you. Because whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God, and to a spiritual integrity that, like salt, seasons the world around you with the savor of Christ.
Also available: Sacred Marriage gift edition, small group video study and study guide, Spanish edition, and more.
Good Book, Not Outstanding This book is good but it just didn't seem to keep my interest up throughout the book. But then again, I'm not an avid reader either. It did make you stop and examine yourself and your motives in your marriage. It also made you thing about how God views marriage vs how today's society looks at it and has cheapened its meaning to "what's in it for me." Overall it was a good book.it's easy to get swept up into assuming marriage is all ... This book has left me speechless. Considering how the world views marriage, especially in America, it's easy to get swept up into assuming marriage is all about you and romance and the surface stuff. This book gives you Heavens perspective on marriage. It will challenge you, but give you context for the challenges. Where things that I've endured in my life have seemed pointless and have left me questioning, this book punctuates all that you'll face in your marriage so that it makes sense spiritually and naturally. It gives you the wisdom, understanding, grace and strength that you'll need to press on through the rough times. It gives meaning and purpose to the obstacles that the enemy will use to try and destroy what God has called together. Gary Thomas nailed it! God bless this man for allowing God to use him to speak into the lives of so many married and soon to be married couples. I will read and reread this book for the rest of my life!Not just another self-help marriage book This book was recommended to me by a Christian marriage counselor. I have read a lot of self-help marriage books and after the first chapter, wasn’t so sure about this one either. But it really takes off and hits on the main issues that trouble couples. I came away with a lot of information that I have applied in my life since. Great tidbits. I now know that my wife ‘nags’ and ‘talks in circles’ because she is trying to save our marriage rather than just to hear herself talk. That was a revelation to me. I can come out from hiding and truly listen knowing this fact. Highly recommend the book. It saved my marriage, believe it will improve everyone’s.
