Description
Your Marriage Can Lead to a Closer Walk with God
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-is filled with the capacity to help you grow in Christ's character.
This edition of Sacred Marriage includes all-new videos from Gary. Each session has been updated to include modern research and illustrations, key biblical principles about marriage, and wisdom from Gary's more than twenty years of teaching since its original release. You will also find a wealth of discussion questions in this study guide that will spark meaningful conversation in your group, between you and you spouse, and that you can ponder on your own.
