Description

In the realm of Christian marriages, many couples resort to prayers like "Lord, here am I. Change him," or "God, I'm trying. She started it." Yet, these attitudes fall short of what a truly Christ-centered marriage should embody. It's as if we invoke Christ's blessing at the wedding and then abandon the divine theology afterward.

In this concise and practical guide, Doug Wilson delves deep into the essence of Christian marriage, offering a richer and more comprehensive theology than his prior works. He reminds us that marriage is intended to be a glorious reflection of the gospel's beauty, and any union grounded elsewhere can lead to a living hell on earth. Wilson explores crucial aspects of marital life, including headship, submission (and their counterfeits), effective communication, managing jealousy, dealing with divorce, extending forgiveness, growing old together, and facing the challenges of widowhood. "This Simple and Practical Book" empowers couples to build a marriage that truly resonates with the essence of the gospel, making it a source of joy, grace, and divine reflection.
