Book Recommendation; "When Sinners Say I Do"

Book Recommendation; When Sinners Say I Do

As a pastor I have read many Christian books on marriage, and I must be honest that I think they actually can do more harm than good. Many of them cause me to look at my wife as the problem and not myself. I am left thinking that somehow she is not meeting the needs that I have. So I go on to demand that my wife begin meeting the needs I have that only Christ can meet.

That being said I have recently read this book “When Sinners say I Do” by Dave Harvey. This book truly gave me God’s grace to love my wife more. The author dives through straight to the point, that we are sinners, so our marriage is broken to begin with. Right from the beginning he starts off by pointing towards you own personal sinfulness, and the saving faith that Christ gives us through the cross. The cross must be the focal point of our marriage, if it is not it becomes ourselves, our spouse, or our children. This can be disastrous! Because marriage was created by God and for God, if we live in marriage any other way we destroy God’s intended purpose.

I recommend this book for all couples no matter what stage in life you are in. All singles who one day hope to be married would benefit from this as well.

May God give us all grace for our marriage; that we would love our spouse more and more by the love Christ showed on the cross.
