About this listen

A man should look at his wife or fiancée and gasp.

Do you know what God has given you or is in the process of giving you? That woman, that terrifying, glorious woman made in his image, was created by God and redeemed with the precious blood of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in her. She is of immense value to God. She is precious to him. She is his daughter, an heir of the promise, a co-heir of the grace of life with you. Do you feel that? Does it make your chest knot up? Do you get a little bit afraid? Maybe a lot afraid? Good. Hold that pose.

In recent decades, we have essentially reduced marriage to a permanent roommate situation with sexual benefits. But marriage is not about something as low-stakes as “who gets to control the remote”. Your husband or wife is no mere mortal, but an eternal soul who is going to grow closer to God or further from him because they are married to you. Add children to the mix - even more eternal souls! That’s why the biblical picture of the family is something far more powerful, far more dangerous, far more glorious - far more like a nuclear reactor - than anything else in modern society.

No Mere Mortals: Marriage for People Who Will Live Forever shows how husbands can lead their wives, and how wives can follow their husbands, and how both together, building on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, can shape future generations and the world.

Healthy Relationship Model

This book shows what a God honoring relationship is supposed to look like. This is such a rich book! It models what true submission to God looks like for both the man and the woman in a marriage. I highly recommend listening to this book more than once because it is so deep that it is impossible to grasp its entirety in one reading!
