Over the next few weeks I will be posting some quotes from the book When Sinners Say “I Do” here are three.


I hope to work on a marriage booklet for my premarital counseling over the next few months and this book, among others are some that I’m reviewing for my personal life but also for the booklet.  I have been inspired by a friend of mine, Pastor Mark Gedicks, who has a great packet that he shared with me for his premarital counseling.  My hope is that I can add some stuff to it, in the hopes of making it a little more personal.  Here are some of the quotes that will make it in:

This is why the Bible is so important.  As God’s Word, it fills marriage with eternal and glorious significance….  It’s a wonderful, freeing thing to realize that the durability and quality of your marriage is not ultimately based on the strength of your commitment to your marriage.  Rather it is based on something completely apart from your marriage: God’s truth; truth we find plain and clear on the pages of scriptures. (pg 23)

Marriage was not just invented by God, it belongs to God….  Marriage is not first about me or my spouse.  Obviously, the man and woman are essential, but they are also secondary.  God is the most important person in a marriage.  Marriage is for our good, but it is first for God’s glory. (pg 25)

In this book, I want to convince you that dealing with the sin problem is key to a thriving marriage. (pg 29)

I would encourage any married couple, or couple who is thinking of marriage to buy this book, it is only $9.76 HERE and well worth the investment in the most important human relationship you will ever have.
