Faith And Marriage

eBook Summary - 'Faith And Marriage'

You’ve heard that divorce is not God’s design for marriage, but maybe you didn’t think you would have to worry about that in your own life.

It’s easy to think that only “other people” get divorced that your own marriage is somehow immune to heartache. Consequently, you think only others experience infidelity and fight over who gets the house, the car, and the dog. After all, how many of us would walk down the aisle if we believed our relationships would end up in divorce court?

Truth is, no relationship comes with a lifetime guarantee. Even men and women who grew up in stable homes are at risk. Further, those who attend church and consider themselves Christians, who promise “until death do us part,” can have it all fall apart.

Christians know that applying biblical principles to marriage will give us a stronger foundation than our unbelieving friends and neighbors. Surely we know this, but what are we doing about it? In other words, what makes a marriage “Christian”?

According to author Gary Thomas, we’re not asking the right questions. What if your relationship isn’t as much about you and your spouse as it is about you and God?

Instead of asking why we have struggles in the first place, the more important issue is how we deal with them.
