About this listen

What if God designed marriage to make you holy instead of happy? What if your relationship isn't as much about you and your spouse as it is about you and God?

In Sacred Marriage, best-selling author Gary Thomas uncovers the ways that your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God and with each other. Join over one million others who have already uncovered Thomas's tips for fostering a sacred marriage.

Within the sections of Sacred Marriage, Thomas invites you to see how God can use your relationship with your spouse as a discipline and a motivation to love God more and reflect more of the character of his Son.

In addition to life-changing insights from scripture, church history, and time-tested wisdom from Christian classics, you'll find practical advice and techniques to make your marriage happier by becoming holier husbands and wives.

In Sacred Marriage, Thomas will give you all of the tools you need to:

  • Turn marital struggles into spiritual and personal appreciation
  • Love your spouse with a stronger sense of purpose
  • Confront your weaknesses and sin in order to grow your relationship with God and with your spouse
  • Partner in the spiritual growth and character formation of your spouse
  • Transform a tired marriage into a relationship filled with awe and respect

Thomas reveals that sacred marriages teach us to love God and others well by fostering a healthy sex life, a strong prayer life, and a rich spiritual life. God uses our marriages to help us grow in character, in prayer, in worship, and in service - we just have to recognize that the purpose of marriage is holiness, not happiness.

Each copy also includes thought-provoking discussion questions designed to spark conversation between couples and small groups, allowing you to dive deeper into the lessons that Thomas shares in Sacred Marriage.

Join the one million others who have already started on their journey to transforming their relationship with their spouses and with their Creator.

Marriage and life changing wisdom and guidance!

I devoured this book and wished it wouldn’t end. I truly wish I had known these things years ago. I earnestly pray it isn’t too late for my beautiful wife and me, and I can’t help but share this with married Christians and others. Such rich wisdom and guidance!

Insightful and Encouraging!

Gary Thomas is candid, authentic, and honest. I most appreciated his various stories/examples from not just his life but from a diverse amount of couples. The listener receives a well-rounded view of the various challenges he addresses. Easy to listen to. Leaves the viewer enlightened to ways the Bible explains marriage.

Excellent

This is the best book on marriage that I have read yet. I appreciate that the author addresses issues of abuse and wrong views towards roles of men and women in marriage. But he doesn’t stop by pointing out what’s wrong. He illuminates what is right and beautiful and how to live out a sacred marriage for our joy and God’s glory.

What a change in perspective

This is an outstanding tool to change the perspective of marriage & affirm God's goals for our life long relationship. This is both redemptive for new couples & seasoned ones.

A Treasure To Share

My third time through this work, but finally finishing it. A very good read for all seeking wisdom on the subject. Not perfect, but one of the best books I've read/hear on the Christian perspective of Marriage. Great job!

Great book!

I wish someone would have gave us this book for our wedding. Marriage can be so much richer when it is used to grow closer to God
