Why read it?
1 author picked Sacred Marriage as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The subtitle of the book helps you understand Gary Thomas’s purpose: he wants to help his readers see that marriage is not primarily for our happiness.
Although it is a gift and frequently fills us with joy, marriage is also very sanctifying, which is to say it makes us holy. Few things in life help us grow spiritually as much as marriage. When we get married we learn to be patient, gentle, and we frequently have to find ourselves being forgiving. And these are all wonderful graces.
From Scott's list on Christian marriage (from the author of a best-selling Christian marriage book).
