Marriage God's Way

Beautifully written and a helpful -- this is something nice to have for every married couple. Reading together will help bring you closer and start conversations too.

Marriage God’s Way is a great Biblically sound guide to living up to your potential in marriage, I found it easy to follow and appreciated the author’s directness and thorough scriptural references. Whether you’re getting ready to get married, are already happily married, or are married but struggling I recommend this book. Husbands and wives can both gain a lot from reading this and even more so, I’d imagine, if fortunate enough to read it together.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the review copy and opportunity.

At its best, marriage can bring joy and blessings of which are rarely found in this life, but at its worst, marriage can inflict pain and conflict. This is often because husbands and wives don’t fully understand their roles and the responsibilities that go along with their roles. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had access to instructional guidance to show us how to have the wonderful marriage that we’d hoped for? Here’s the thing: we DO have access to these instructions! As the Creator of marriage, God is the ultimate authority on marriage, and He has placed in His Word the recipe that shows husbands and wives how to experience the marital blessings that are available to every couple. In this book, Pastor Scott teaches about the instructions included in the Bible. He explains concepts like Scripture’s commands for husbands and wives, Godly love and how to show it, submission and headship, Biblical intimacy, and how to build your marriage on an indestructible foundation, among other things.

One of the things that I particularly enjoyed about this book is that everything was explained simply and in a straight forward manner. Pastor Scott makes it clear how incredibly vital following God’s instructions for marriage is to having a healthy, godly relationship, one that would prove to be a good example for your children and others around you. Not only is God not silent about His expectations for this sacred bond, but as the Creator of marriage, He is the ultimate authority on the matter and the only One who has the authority to define what marriage is and set guidelines for it. Nobody else even has the authority to modify the definition or standards of marriage. I truly believe that this would make a wonderful addition to every couple’s literary arsenal and has the potential to strengthen any relationship. It would probably be an excellent idea for a couple who is contemplating marriage to read. It would make an excellent engagement gift or part of the wedding present. It just has so much valuable insight. I think this is something that I’ll be rereading multiple times.
