Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. The title of this book is a very good summary of its contents. That premise is a good one and is well worth considering. We often think of marriage in terms of what can we get from it or in terms of meeting our needs. Thomas turns that on its head and proposes that marriage should instead be about what God and the world can get out of a marriage. That is a refreshing and healthy perspective. The problem for me was that the book is rather dry and the examples did not really relate to me. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fresh perspective on marriage, but it will take some perseverance to finish it. ( ) no reviews | add a review

In this six-session small group Bible study (digital video not included), Sacred Marriage, writer and speaker Gary Thomas invites you to see how God can use marriage as a discipline and a motivation to reflect more of the character of Jesus. Your marriage is much more than a union between you and your spouse. It is a spiritual discipline ideally suited to help you know God more fully and intimately. Sacred Marriage shifts the focus from marital enrichment to spiritual enrichment in ways that can help you love your mate more. Whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God. Everything about your marriage-from the history you and your spouse create, to the love you share, to the forgiveness you both offer and seek by turn-is filled with the capacity to help you grow in Christ's character. Sessions include: 1. God's Purpose for Marriage: More Than We Imagine 2. The Refining Power of Marriage 3. The God-Centered Spouse 4. Sacred History 5. Sexual Saints 6. Marriage: The Love Laboratory.
