Editorial Reviews

Your marriage is much more than a union between you and your spouse. It is a spiritual discipline ideally suited to help you know God more fully and intimately. Sacred Marriage shifts the focus from marital enrichment to spiritual enrichment in ways that can help you love your mate more. Whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God. Everything about your marriage---everything from the history you and your spouse create, to the love you share, to the forgiveness you both offer and seek by turn---is filled with the capacity to help you grow in Christ's character. This six-session, small group DVD curriculum will equip you to love God more passionately, reflect the nature of his Son more precisely, and fulfill God's overarching purpose for your marriage.

This review is from: Sacred Marriage: What If God Designed Marriage To Make Us Holy More Than To Make Us Happy? (DVD)

Sacred Marriage was awesome to say the least. The thing I liked the most is the constant reminder that we are not in our marriage to focus on self and that the tough things we deal with serve to make us a better person. I've talked to many people who have seen several marraige series and I'm in another one with my wife right now. Most others teach things to do to help your marriage as if you are both already on board and know why you should be following a certain set of steps. What Sacred Marriage does is give you more of the foundation of why you should be doing these things. It deals much more with foundation of marriage and the attitude you should have in a marriage. I can honestly say that Sacred Marriage helped me change a lot of my thoughts about my wife and my marriage. This isn't just for those torn apart but for those who want to keep on the right track as well. I gave this set as part of a wedding gift to a friend not long after my wife and I watched it. Great stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to watch, November 29, 2010

Gary is easy to watch & engages even the viewer who isn't sure they want to delve into marriage issues. He balances the point of view between women & men beautifully so that neither spouse feels beat up by the content or overwhelmed with information. We did the book along with the video & used study guide too in a small group setting. I have to say the video or video plus guide are all that is needed. The book was not nearly as well done as the video--it was more like reading a presentation. The book was too wordy and did not correlate well with the video. We liked the video so much we've purchased it as a gift for others. This is a great way to energize your marriage *plus* you don't have to get babysitting to go to an all day seminar!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the two most biblically sound marriage books I've found, July 25, 2010

I'm a biblical counselor and I'm always on the hunt for marriage materials. This is one of the two most biblically sound books I've come across in many years - the other being Reforming Marriage by Doug Wilson. Gary Thomas points couples in the direction they should be looking - at their own personal relationship with God and then how to view their marriage in the context of their walk towards increasing sanctification. Excellent, very readable, very balanced. This is not a condemning book, but it's a very convicting book. The DVD series is excellent as well - approx 25-minute sessions makes it perfect for counseling, Sunday School or a small-group. Accompanying participant's guide has excellent practical "homework" for couples and discussion topics.
