Sacred Marriage

What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy?

11 minGary Lee Thomas

What's it about

What if the true purpose of your marriage isn't your personal happiness, but something far more profound? This summary challenges the modern ideal of a bliss-focused partnership and reveals how God uses marriage to shape you into a more holy, resilient, and spiritually mature person. You'll learn to see everyday marital struggles—from communication breakdowns to unmet expectations—not as failures, but as powerful opportunities for spiritual growth. Discover how to reframe your perspective, embrace sacrifice, and build a union that draws both you and your partner closer to God.

Meet the author

Gary Thomas is a bestselling author and international speaker whose work has sold over two million copies and been translated into more than a dozen languages worldwide. Drawing from two millennia of church history and his own journey, Thomas challenges modern assumptions about marriage. He posits that the marital relationship is not primarily for our happiness, but for our spiritual growth and holiness. This profound perspective reframes the daily challenges and joys of marriage as a sacred pathway to a deeper connection with God.
