If you have never read the book “The Sacred Search”By Gary Thomas, I would recommend everyone to read it. It really addresses ensuring you are marrying someone for the right reasons and not just for surface level ideas that won’t last.
I wanted to post a little preview of the book and would highly suggest going out and buying yourself a copy if you are hoping to get married in the near future.
“A home established on Matthew 6:33 is a glorious thing. While this verse contains a command, it’s also an exciting promise of a rich and meaningful life. When husband and wife are committed in Christ, growing together in the Lord, supporting each other in their spiritual walks, raising children in the fear of the Lord, loving each other out of reverence for God, joy abounds and miracles happen. Selfish people become servants. Self-centered children grow up to become workers in God’s kingdom. Strangers become intimate friends. Daily life is filled with the drama of kingdom building. There are plenty of mistakes, lots of repenting, times of frustration, sickness, and even doubts. But in the end, God’s presence prevails, people are transformed, kingdom work is accomplished, and trials are overcome. If two people join themselves around this mission—if they make their marital choice based on the best person with whom they can accomplish this mission—they are far more likely to have a fulfilling and soul-building marriage.”
Have you ever thought about the “Why” behind marrying someone?
