Description

Gary Thomas believes couples often settle for too little when it comes to marriage. We fail to understand how deeply God cares about our spouse. We diminish our need to not only understand what biblical love really is, but also to become a people who excel at it. We let ourselves drift apart instead of making the daily choices to grow closer together.

Whether your marriage needs a complete makeover, a touch up, or just a new purpose, A Lifelong Love promises to set your relationship on an entirely new dimension. You will never look at worship or your spouse in the same way again. You will understand how living for that day will so radically transform the decisions you make this day. And Gary will guide you through the power shifts and seasonal mine fields that blow up so many marriages so that you can grow in your love instead of in your disappointment.

Thirty years of study and two decades of working with couples has led Gary Thomas to his most significant book yet on the relationship between husband and wife. Find out for yourself what all the fuss is about—and why A Lifelong Love is sure to challenge the way the church talks about marriage.

“To me, the only marriage I want is a marriage that is sacred through and through…The best marriages are achieved by living for something else and letting that something else come back and lift up our marriages. The key to a happy marriage that becomes ever happier is a magnificent obsession outside of marriage.” - Gary Thomas

There are so many books on love, marriage, and growing in faith, but Gary Thomas does a wonderful job blending them all together in A Lifelong Love. This book is ideal for marriages in all stages – just beginning, struggling, or in the golden years. Filled with faith-based reflections, advice rooted in Christian teaching, and offering questions for discussion at the end of each chapter, this book is a valuable tool for strengthening any marriage. Thomas’ primary focus is on loving your partner as God does and seeing them through His eyes. While it may not always be easy, the emphasis on bringing God into your marriage, and finding complete contentment by following Him in word and deed is what will ultimately lead to complete happiness within your marriage.
