We started reading the book Sacred Marriage last night. What a great book this is :o) A warning though, it isn't for those who are looking for light, fluffy or easy. The premise of the book is "What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy?"
This a radical concept even among the most mature Christians. The book starts by examining the idea that Hollywood promotes regarding the whole "love is a feeling and romance is the cornerstone." As we work through the book (I freely admit this one will take us awhile), I will share snippets and concepts as well as provide a regular review of the material. We will probably start the books by Barbara Wilson (a local from Bayside Church in Granite Bay) next. She wrote a couple of excellent books dealing with breaking free from bondage and restoring intimacy in the marriage.
What is on YOUR reading list?

I believe most people today see their spouses as disposable. This is very unfortunate but apparent in society. People go into marriage with failing an option. Prenuptial agreements are a firm example. Even in Christian marriages we turn up our toes and give up. My marriage was not a Christian marriage in the beginning. Neither of us was brought up in church nor understood a relationship with Jesus. It is a miracle we have lasted and still love and respect each other. We both know the Lord now and raising our children to have a relationship with God. When I finish The Love Dare I may check this title out. I have a LONG list of must reads!
Blessings to you and yours!
