Holy Marriage
Author: Gary ThomasCategoryDescriptionContentAuthorDetailsYour marriage is more than a sacred union with another person.
This book is not about how to build a happy marriage. It is about how your marriage can help you deepen your relationship with God. From the practice of daily forgiveness, through the beauty of your sexuality, to the great story you, husband and wife, create together—everything in your marriage has the potential to make you… holy! And not just a holy wife or a holy husband, but a holy couple!
Becoming a saint is the calling of every Christian. So what is the problem? It is that very often our only model of holiness is people who have never lived in marriage. Very often we are offered a single model of spirituality - like a monk's: long prayers, long fasts, periods of solitude and silence...
Gary Thomas invites us to make a small revolution in our thinking about spirituality, about holiness, and about Christian marriage. And believe me, he does it in a fascinating way: you will suddenly discover wonderful things about your marriage, whether it is strong today or leaves much to be desired. You will see a perspective that perhaps no one has ever shown you.
At the end of the book, you will find interesting, sometimes provocative questions for discussion in couples, between brides and grooms, or in small groups. Read, discuss, grow — this book will not leave you indifferent!
