"Far too many people, Christians not excluded, are self-centeredly preoccupied with their own marital problems and their attempt to engineer solutions to them. A theology of marriage can help them to achieve a God-centered look at the larger situation of which their marriages constitute a small, if by no means unimportant, part. In the long run a few look means a new understanding, and a new understanding means a new practice." - Geoffrey Bromiley Offering a new look at the increasingly unfashionable institution of marriage, Geoffrey Bromiley presents here a timely theological study which, unlike others books on marriage, aims exclusively to relate marriage to God as Creator, Son, and Holy Spirit. Bromiley observes that God's work on reconciliation makes it possible for his people also to achieve reconciliation with one another, particularly in the marriage relationship. In addition to thoroughly discussing the relationship of the Trinity to marriage, Bromiley examines such topics as incest, adultery and fornication, celibacy, the permanency of marriage, and remarriage after the death of a partner. "Dr. Bromiley pays close, cautious, and sensitive attention to virtually every Scriptural passage about marriage, even the passages that are particularly difficult for our own era to cope with. He makes no attempt to rewrite the Bible in the interest of some specially modern idea. It is a book rooted deeply in the immeasurable principles of Creation and Redemption, and is full of sane, courageous, sound teaching." - Thomas Howard Gordon College "I am very pleased with the book and feel it will fill a very special place in the available literature on Christian marriage. . . . It stands apart from the superficial writing that all but characterizes our time. How-to books are of little value apart from the basic theological understanding which must precede them. This is a book I would like to have written, and a book which will be required reading for my students." - Dwight Small Westmont College Geoffrey W. Bromiley is professor emeritus of Church History and Historical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. He is best known as the translator of numerous theological books, including the 9-volume Theological Dictionary of the New Testament.

Marriage is great, but it’s not forever. It’s until death do us part. Then come eternal rewards or regrets depending on how we spent our lives. In his latest book, Francis Chan joins together with his wife Lisa to address the question many couples wonder at the altar: “How do I have a healthy marriage?” Setting aside typical topics on marriage, Francis and Lisa dive into Scripture to understand what it means to have a relationship that satisfies the deepest parts of our souls. In the same way Crazy Love changed the way we saw our personal relationship with God, You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will radically shift the way we see one of the most important relationships in our life. Jesus was right. We have it all backwards. The way to have a great marriage is by not focusing on marriage. Whether you are single, dating or married, You and Me Forever will help you discover the adventure that you were made for and learn how to thrive in it. 100% of the net proceeds from this book will support various ministries including those that help provide shelter and rehabilitation for thousands of children and exploited women around the world.

Before God brought the woman to Adam in the Garden of Eden, God gave him responsibility, which was a job. Men, you should have a place to take your new bride to live in a place that she can call her home. When you marry that special lady, you become her new daddy because her biological daddy steps down as her covering. It then becomes the husbands responsibility as her new daddy to take care of her and her needs. Instead of taking your wife to your parents home or her parents home, you should take her to your new home that you have prepared especially for her. This is why God says that a man must leave his mother and father and cleave to his own wife.

Never has the sacred covenant of marriage been more maligned than it is today. It can be difficult to know how to respond to a culture that is becoming more and more antagonistic to biblical beliefs about marriage. And this is a topic worth getting right. Marriage was given to us as a picture of the triune God in relationship with his people, which means what we believe about marriage is indissolubly tied to what we believe about God and his creating and saving purposes. Therefore, it is more important now than ever that we think theologically and carefully about what marriage is and how we live faithfully in it. Marriage: Its Foundation, Theology, and Mission in a Changing World is the much-needed work on marriage for this generation and the next. Rooted in a scriptural understanding of marriage, it thoughtfully engages the issues surrounding marriage being debated today and lays the groundwork for the crucial conversations of our day. Each section contains chapters from trusted theologians as well as experienced practitioners who work with couples daily. Rediscover the beauty of God’s design for marriage and be strengthened to stand firm amidst any challenges the world may bring

It's also an invaluable resource for parents, counselors, and pastors.

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Marriage was begun by God, designed by God, and leads to the greatest happiness when couples listen to God. You will never find two perfect people, which is why you must listen to a perfect God if you want the perfect marriage. PRECEPTS Thoroughly biblical while addressing a variety of issues couples face in real life Illustrates how decisions before marriage greatly affect the marriage Provides a biblical perspective for often cited counseling approaches A balanced view of the responsibilities of husbands and wives PROMISE The reader will gain an appreciation for God's wisdom in His plan for marriage The reader will better understand his or her spouse's point of view The reader will understand intimacy in the greater context of marriage The reader will learn to respect God and his or her spouse more within the marriage Contents Chapter 1 Introduction Beginning with a discussion of "the ground rules" for husbands and wives to discuss their marriage, this opening chapter is designed to introduce the biblical nature of marriage, the practical implications of marriage, how expectations can be our enemy in marriage, how and when to evaluate your marriage, and then ultimately why everyone should want a happy marriage. Chapter 2 The Right Reasons for Marriage This chapter discusses the reasons provided in the Bible for marriage, showing the importance of each one and then proceeds to illustrate why a marriage begun for the wrong reasons can lead to real problems later on. Chapter 3 Preparing for Marriage While many people spend months planning for a wedding, they rarely spend much time preparing themselves for marriage. However, strong marriages begin with people who have prepared their character long before marriage, people who had standards for whom they would marry and kept to them, people who recognized that married life is different, that many would change significantly, and that the unexpected might become normal. Most of all, people must learn to prepare themselves for the commitment that marriage requires. Without these things, it is no wonder that couples have problems. Chapter 4 The Problem Free Marriage Part One While the nature of what two people might argue about or what might drive them apart will be different depending upon their background and circumstances, we can be sure that problems arise in any marriage. Therefore, marriage is not about avoiding problems, which is impossible, but about confronting them properly. The place to start, of course, is by knowing what potential problems lurk out there so that you can prepare to meet and overcome them together. Chapter 5 The Problem Free Marriage Part Two Unfortunately, there are a LOT of potential problems, which means additional discussion. Chapter 6 The Importance of Character in Marriage Young couples often approach marriage as if saying "I do" in front of people makes you grow up immediately. Instead, couples should know that marriage does not necessarily mature people but that only mature people should get married. Marriage requires constancy on some things and flexibility on others. Maturity helps you tell which one is needed when. Marriage requires unselfishness and good communication skills, as well as the right attitude when things do not go your way. Marriage therefore works best when both husband and wife are faithful Christians, submitting first to God's will so that they are prepared to work together to fashion their marriage according to God's will. Since some people have trouble determining when they are truly prepared, I suggest asking five specific questions whenever you are considering marriage. Chapter 7 Roles in Marriage While a discussion of the roles the Bible gives for husbands and wives is not necessarily politically correct, it is essential for a strong marriage. But more than this, it is important for couples to understand these roles in a deeper way instead of believing the caricat
