We are in a message series called Sacred Marriage at Catawba UMC. It's a series based off the book of the same title written by Gary Thomas. The question Gary Thomas explores in the book is this: What if God designed marriage to make us holy rather than to make us happy. What I appreciate about the book is that it is not one of those 5 Ways to a Happy Marriage or 7 Steps to a Perfect Marriage, it's actually more like a biblical theology of marriage. It's a way to understand holiness within the context of marriage.
I've enjoyed re-reading the book and preaching the ideas from the book. My hope is that it both strengthens our marriages and helps all of us (married or not) pursue a life of holiness.
