Marriage has come a long way since biblical times. Women are no longer property, and practices like polygamy have long been rejected. The world is wealthier, healthier, and more able to find and form relationships than ever. So why are Christian congregations doing more burying than marrying today? Explanations for the recession in marriage range from the mathematical--more women in church than men--to the economic, and from the availability of sex to progressive politics. But perhaps marriage hasn't really changed at all. Instead, there is simply less interest in marriage in an era marked by technology, gender equality, and secularization. Mark Regnerus explores how today's Christians find a mate within a faith that esteems marriage but in a world that increasingly yawns at it. This book draws on in-depth interviews with nearly two hundred young-adult Christians from the United States, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Russia, Lebanon, and Nigeria, in order to understand the state of matrimony in global Christian circles today. Regnerus finds that marriage has become less of a foundation for a couple to build upon and more of a capstone. Meeting increasingly high expectations of marriage is difficult, though, in a free market whose logic reaches deep into the home today. The result is endemic uncertainty, slowing relationship maturation, and stalling marriage. But plenty of Christians innovate, resist, and wed, and this book argues that the future of marriage will be a religious one.

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

At a time in human history when women and men are more concerned about interpersonal relationships and when there is an extensive questioning of the specific relationship between a woman and a man in marriage, Marriage and Sacrament offers an understanding of how to live out the Christ-meaning and Church-meaning of that relationship so that, by living martially and sacramentally, couples can reveal to the world and to the Church the deeper meaning of all human love. The book examines the relationship among love, marriage, and sacrament; it examines the meanings of the sacrament of marriage, its biblical basis, its history and what happens when it comes to an end; it examines sexual love, indissoluble love, fruitful love, and ecumenical love in relationship to both marriage and sacrament. Marriage and Sacrament is an indispensable resource for pastoral ministers and ministry students as well as all who contemplate or are now partners in marriage.

Every culture has a way of perceiving and practicing marriage. Many contemporary Western Christians mistake what their culture prescribes regarding marriage with what the Bible portrays, and thereby take as biblical what is merely cultural. Uncritical conformity to cultural imperatives of marriage then becomes a Christian virtue, and a sweet surrender. Few recognize, much less question this confusion, even when its consequences are unhealthy. In Sweet Surrender Dennis Hiebert challenges Christians to comprehend what is cultural in their view of marriage, hold as optional what is not explicitly required by the Bible, and live out their marriages within the transcendent grace of God. Gaining greater awareness can free marriages from the control of culture for something more simply but deeply Christian. Marriages benefit when they are released from cultural directives that are not biblical callings, even if they choose to retain them as cultural practices. This book is for Christians who are ready to rethink their assumptions about marriage.
