About
Have you ever wondered how God sees your marriage and what He would say about it? If you read the Bible carefully, you will discover how God describes a variety of marriages. There's a reason He shares these marriages in detail, including some marriages that are good, some that are dysfunctional, and some that are spiteful. Marriages in the Bible, the sixth offering from Gary H. Lovejoy, Ph.D., reveals God's perspective on biblical marriages so readers may discover the essential ingredients for happy, fulfilling, lasting unions as God intended - and how to identify ways to shipwreck them!
What others say about this book:
Every couple needs to read this book.
I've read hundreds of books on marriage, and this is one of the most memorable.
Dr Gary Lovejoy reminds us that there is so much to learn from the examples of others. With the wisdom of a Bible student, the curiosity of a college professor, and the compassion of a professional counselor the author guides us through many of the most common challenges that face marriages.
Rarely does a book entertain, teach, and challenge. This is such a book. Read it alone, read it with your spouse, read it with a group of other couples! Any way you read it, it will stretch you to make your marriage everything God wants it to be -- a marriage where you love, protect, honor, forgive, sacrifice for, and enjoy your spouse.
Dr Lovejoy doesn't provide easy or simple steps to a happy marriage. He does something much better. He shows us time-tested principles from 17 real couples in the Bible. He brings these couples to life in such a vivid and practical way that we realize the struggles couples had thousands of years ago are no different than those we face today. From their examples we learn how to rise above our struggles to a place where God's love and grace can truly shine through us.
This book is not just about marriage, it's about being faithful follower of the one who made marriage. It's about being the best and most healthy person you can be.
Thank you, Dr Lovejoy, for showing us how relevant and practical God's Word is in the midst of this world's hardest challenges.
