Love That Lasts: When Marriage Meets Grace

Here is another book that was recommended last week through MarriageVine. Love That Lasts shows that marriage is about God's glory and not our own. Today, getting married is centered around what is best for ME. For some women, it is all about how good a man look or how well of a provider he is. For some men, it is all about how pretty she is, what type of body she has or how well she can satisfy him sexually. However, this book focuses on the primary purpose of marriage. It tells exactly what marriage should be about. In other words, we need to see marriage as God does to keep it in arrangement with his purpose. Sad to say, many of us did not understand the purpose of marriage and ended up in a divorce. I can attest to this because I am one of those divorce statistics.

Additionally, I really encourage you to subscribe to the daily postings from MarriageVine. It is an investment of time that will strengthen your relationship. I enjoy reading the emails even though they are overwhelming.


BOTTOM LINE: We need to see God through Marriage and not ourselves!!!
