Publisher's summary

"People say our marriage is impossible."

Laurie and Matt Krieg are in a mixed-orientation marriage: a marriage in which at least one partner's primary attraction isn't toward the gender of their spouse. In the Kriegs' case, Laurie is primarily attracted to women - and so is Matt.

Some find the idea of mixed-orientation marriage bewildering or even offensive. But as the Kriegs have learned, nothing is impossible with God - and that's as true of their marriage as anyone else's. In An Impossible Marriage, the Kriegs tell their story: how they met and got married, the challenges and breakthroughs of their journey, and what they've learned about marriage along the way. Christianity teaches us that marriage is a picture of Jesus' love for the church - and that's just as true in a mixed-orientation marriage as in a straight one.

With vulnerability and wisdom, this book lays out an engaging picture of marriage in all its pain and beauty. It's a picture that points us, over and over again, to the love and grace of Jesus - as marriage was always meant to do.

Thought provoking, tear jerking Gospel

Listened to this book in a road trip - cried, laughed, rededicated myself to the Lord…. The gospel shines in this book! Takeaways are applicable not only to marriage but the Christian walk as well.

Raw, genuine, and inspiring

Would recommend this book to any married couple, or anyone who may ever get married. It’s gospel- and Jesus-centered, and calls out many Christian culture platitudes. Matt and Laurie are so deeply open and raw in this book that I cried several times as their story drew out parts of my own.

Powerful message

Powerful message. Really hits on the importance of both people in the marriage being willing and able to do the work needed to bring about healing. It doesn’t happen on its on. You have to be focused on Christ and willing to die to self for the benefit of the other. To stop being a barrier to what He desires to accomplish.
