Marriage 101: A Lifelong Love Book Review { Giveaway!}

November 3, 2014

Let’s face it, marriage is a lot of work. How can marriages survive in this day and age. The definition of marriage has definitely been altered by societal views. Marriage from God’s perspective is a covenant relationship between God, a man and a woman.

Here is a brief video about the book:

About the Author:

Gary Thomas is writer-in-residence at Second Baptist Church in Houston, a frequent guest on Focus on the Family and FamilyLife Today radio, and a popular speaker. His award-winning books have been translated into over a dozen languages and together have sold over a million copies worldwide. Thomas and his wife have been married thirty years and have three children.

About the Book:

You believe your marriage has eternal purposes. You long for it to reach beyond your home and encourage others. But what does it look like to have a spiritually intentional relationship in the midst of dirty dishes, work deadlines, and car pools?

In Sacred Marriage, Gary Thomas showed us that God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy. Now Thomas gives us the practical tools to craft our marriages into inspiring relationships that breathe spiritual life to others.

Whatever season of marriage you are in, A Lifelong Love gives you the practical help you need to infuse your marriage with a spiritual passion that will not only change you but will change the world around you.

Includes discussion and reflection questions for couples.
My thoughts:

In the book A Lifelong Love, Gary Thomas addressess marital issues that many couples face today. Ranging from addictions, spousal neglect, selfishness, how to study your mate and cater to their needs, restoring a lost marriage, sexual intimacy and so much more. This book is for any couple at any stage in their marriage who is willing to learn and grow together and work toward a loving, lasting marriage that will stand the test of time.

I enjoyed the book and I shared quite a bit of the book with my spouse and we read chapters together and had an open dialogue and found new ways that we could invest and sow into our marriage. At the end of every chapter there are questions that couples can answer together to discover ways they can improve their marriage. Throughout the book are scripture references from the Bible to help couples invest that intimate time with one another and connecting as a unit to God. Investing that time in and with your spouse is so important, taking the time to tell each other how much you love and care for each other is key to a fulfilling marriage.

It is so easy to take each other for granted, this book will definitely spark conversation and give you biblical insight how to approach issues that may arise in your marriage. If your marriage is thriving, this book will help you improve it and make it better. Who knows, maybe you can be a mentor to a younger couple who may be having a few marital issues early in their relationship. This is an awesome resource and reference for marriage!

Now for a Giveaway: Giveaway is open to residents 18 and over. U.S. Residents only. A winner will be selected once the contest has ended. Giveaway begins November 4, 2014 and will end at midnight on November 10, 2014.

Be intentional with your time!

I entered the month with a lot of time for reflection as I was fighting off virus symptoms. I was overwhelmed and stressed about what I hadn’t completed and my long to do lists. In this time  of reflection, I saw a few things I needed to change and I started thinking about my mindset.

I didn’t like the place I put myself in,  I was out of focus. I had to let everything go and allow myself to rest and I had to release control. Everything would have to wait and it would still be there waiting for me when I got better. 
The only difference now is that I am healthy and have healthy boundaries, more structure, and my countenance is calm and relaxed. 
What will you be more intentional about? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keep moving and take action in order to move forward!

This past month was full of challenges - I felt lost and like I had lost my motivation. I can’t encourage others if I am feeling depleted. I took time away for reflection and to work on me.

Even when I felt like I had nothing to say, I was speaking volumes. I have more to share later. 
What have you overcome this month?
