Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas
Seeing marriage as another Tool for God's
spiritual Formation
This is a great book for anyone who's been
married long enough to know that it isn't all fancy restaurants and bed and
breakfasts. Which is anyone back from their honeymoon. Actually I thought that
reading it after about 6 years of marriage worked pretty well.
The main point of the book isn't about how to fix your marriage, in fact it doesn't really prescribe much in the way of changing. It really focuses on a perspective that God is using marriage, even the hardest marriages to form saints. That God's design in marriage isn't happiness, but solid character.
Gary makes the point that most spiritual formation literature has been written for and by celibates, and that marriage as a spiritual formation tool has been largely ignored.
