We are called to be imitators of Christ, in life and in marriage. Becoming more like Jesus in your marriage involves thinking less of yourself and more of your spouse. As you strive to implement the characteristics of Jesus Christ ¿ humility, servanthood, honesty, forgiveness ¿ into your marriage, it won¿t be easy. But, "Married to Jesus" explores the benefits of becoming more like Christ in your marriage, offering real-life experiences combined with a biblical foundation. As you gain a deeper understanding of God¿s ideal for marriage, you¿ll begin to see the positive difference in your own marriage ¿ and others will see it, too.

"An exposition of the the church's union with Christ through the biblical analogy of marriage"--

How the gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday married life. Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that should shape a marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption. To understand why marriages struggle-as they all do-we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and his salvation. This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the gospel can shape a response.

The author embarks on a quest to rediscover the joy of being a Christian. It is perfect for use with the Bible because it has study questions that follow each chapter. It is also a prayer guide for "The Great Ninety Days of Joy after Joy." Daily Texts with Prayers to Gladden the Heart from Ash Wednesday through Pentecost makes this book a perfect devotional guide for Lent and Easter.
