This is an incredible book on marriage. Definitely one of if not the best I have ever read! It is refreshing to read a book that doesn't seek to have answers (i.e. 5 ways to have a great marriage) but rather wrestles with the bigger picture of marriage and how it helps shape us as disciples. Here's a great quote:
"Christianity involves believing certain things, to be sure, but its herald, its hallmark, its glory is not in merely ascribing to certain intellectual truths. The beauty of Christianity is in learning to love, and few life situations test that so radically as does a marriage.
Yes, it is difficult to love your spouse. But if you truly want to love God, look right now at the ring on your left hand, commit yourself to exploring anew what that ring represents, and love passionately, crazily, enduringly the fleshly person who put it there.
It just may be one of the most spiritual things you can do."
