Whole Marriages in a Broken World: God's Design for a Healthy Marriage - Softcover

Gary Inrig is a graduate of the University of British Columbia and Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Inrig is pastor of Trinity Evangelical Free Church in Redlands, California, and has written several books, including True North, Whole Marriages in a Broken World, Forgiveness, and Pure Desire.

This may be the most challenging time and culture in history in which to build a marriage that not only endures but becomes a source of love, fulfillment, and growth.

Cynics say marriage is a doomed institution, a relic of an outmoded era. But nothing could be further from the truth, writes Gary Inrig. Thriving, loving, satisfying marriages can be had if we will only listen to and learn from God&;s Word.

In this penetrating book Inrig draws upon biblical stories to illustrate God&;s design for a healthy marriage. As each chapter unfolds, you&;ll regain a vision for a happy marriage, renew your commitment to your spouse, and reclaim ground lost to the erosion of &;creeping separateness.&; Whole Marriages in a Broken World will open your eyes to the necessary ingredients of a satisfying marriage, including:

&; The &;glue&; of covenant commitment
&; The &;oil&; of communication
&; The freedom of forgiveness
&; The sacrifice of servanthood
&; The God-given blessing of marital sex

God&;s created order and the institution of marriage are under attack today. But there is hope, writes Inrig, and that hope is Christ. Read and discover for yourself the joyful fact that through Christ there can be whole marriages in a broken world.
