Sacred Marriage
Sacred Marriage: What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy? | Gary L. Thomas
3 posts | 5 read | 2 reading | 4 to read
Happy is good. 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.

Challenging words that encourage my heart as they remind me of God‘s greater purpose for marriage.

"It is only when we see that our pride and selfishness are the greatest barriers to our joy (rather than our spouse‘s sins or shortcomings) that our marriages will fully express the character of Christ." Gary L. Thomas, “Sacred Marriage: What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy?"

A wonderful look on how marriage is the closest physical representation of God and the Church on earth. And how marriage is a ministry used to witness to others about God, sharpen both members into Christlike beings, and raise children who will learn to love Him.
