Too many marriage books assume that both spouses are going to participate in reading and enacting the steps given in the book; this is all about how my relationship with God is imaged and expressed through my marriage relationship. I feel the author "gets it". There are no easy steps, no how-to-fix this, just a heart-to-heart talk about what marriage is really about.
This is a breath of fresh air in a crowded and stuffy room full of advice and "answers". 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! Gary's teaching on marriage is one of the best out there. Almost every other writer makes similar points but Gary was one of the first in our time to talk about it. I like Kellers book and Driscoll is ok. In the end, this is our go to for couples and pre-marriage.
Sacred search is another great book for pre-marriage. But this is a DVD So having a DVD series on the topic was a great idea. Now I will say Gary is not the most engaging teacher. He can be a little dry. He has some humor in it but his teaching style can be a challenge for some. If your a leader you understand that even with rest material, presentation can make or break a groups ability to engage. So just be aware your not getting a lively presenter. Just a guy, sitting in a chair in front of a window in what looks like his home. Its well filmed and produced and the content is good.
Now all that being said don't get the idea its a huge bore. Just saying if your used to a guy like Jimmy Evans or even a Mark Gungor you might be disappointed. I always tell people that besides the Bible this is the best book I have ever read.
Completely life altering for me. It changes the way you view your marriage and your parenting.

We have a problem in our culture because Christians view their marriages as an institution designed to make them happy and when they are aren't happy they try to find a way out. But for the Christian life isn't about being happy all the time and if you live your life that way you are going to be greatly disappointed in not just marriage but anything. So Gary poses this powerful question What if my marriageis designed to make me holy more than to make me happy?
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. This gives some different perspectives to marriage that ALL should read. Yes, what if God did design marriage to make us holy rather than happy?
Often the counseling is about communication ideas and such. This is a must-read for all. This book can cause a personal heart change followed by a great marriage.
But then, the first big fight comes along and we decide that we are incompatible. When the truth is this fight is only exposing our own bent toward selfishness. If we open our hearts a bit, we can learn the lesson and improve our image of God and subsequently have an improved marriage. The Sacred Marriage participant's guide is designed to accommodate and enhance the six teaching sessions on the DVD.
Small group ice-breakers, discussion questions, Bible study and guided prayer are only a few of the many helps provided to let your marriage become a doorway to a closer walk with God.
