In this popular bestselling book (with more than 500,000 copies sold), Gary Thomas uncovers how your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God and each other.
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.

Quotes

  • ennkeybeautyhas quoted4 years ago
    God makes no secret of how he uses pain, disappointment, difficulty, and dryness to shape us into the image of his Son. Christianity will always sing the song of self-denial
  • ennkeybeautyhas quoted4 years ago
    To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure” (Titus 1:15)
  • ennkeybeautyhas quoted4 years ago
    If you place relentless demands on yourself; if, without mercy, you accuse yourself throughout the day for any number of failings and missed opportunities; if you feel contemptuous toward yourself, that you are not worthy of occasionally buying a nice piece of clothing (“What a waste of money!”) or ever ordering dessert (“So many calories!”), that you are too despicable to take a moment for yourself, that you have no reason to laugh or play or be touched or served, then you are walking in self-hatred—and this self-hatred will ultimately lead to self-destruction
