About this ebook

Grow in your marriage and in your spiritual life with weekly devotions that turn your heart towards God and your spouse.

Do you consider your marriage to be holy? What if holier meant having a happier marriage? Your marriage is more than a sacred covenant with your spouse. It is a relationship God uses to help you know Him more, trust Him more fully, and love Him more deeply.

In Devotions for a Sacred Marriage author Gary Thomas encourages you to build your marriage around God’s priorities and explores how God can reveal Himself to you through your marriage and help you grow closer to Him as well as to your spouse.

This devotional provides:

• Scripture readings that connect your marriage to God's Word
• 52 weekly devotions offering practical and biblical wisdom for nurturing your marriage as an expression of your love for God
• Questions and suggestions for reflection that challenge you to grow in your marriage and your spiritual life
• Insights that build upon principles from Gary's book Sacred Marriage to help you create a strong marriage
• Marriage advice that is applicable to you whether you are a newlywed or have been married for years

You and your spouse will discover:

• Closure in ongoing marital issues
• Simple tactics to handle disagreements
• Ways to improve your communication
• Actionable ways you both can identify your strengths and weaknesses

If you are married, God has called you into a delightful yet difficult, a problematic yet pro-found relationship—but through it all, marriage is more than worth the pain. Devotions for a Sacred Marriage invites you embark on a journey to experience life as God created it and has called you to live it and challenges couples to embrace the profound and soul-stretching reality of Christian marriage.
