The Mystery of Marriage

Más información sobre el libro

In this 20th Anniversary Edition of a Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason embarks on a poetic exploration of the profound dynamics of committed love. Written in an engaging first-person style, Mason's work encourages readers to reflect, pray, and deepen their intimacy. He asserts that "a marriage is not a joining of two worlds, but an abandoning of two worlds to form one new one." The book features rich chapters on "Otherness," "Vows," "Intimacy," "Sex," "Submission," and a new chapter on "Oneness," inviting readers to appreciate the eternal and spiritual dimensions of marriage as a faith-filled journey. Esteemed figures praise the book for its wisdom and depth, with J.I. Packer calling it an "outstanding achievement" and Elisabeth Elliot declaring it a "drop everything book" that addresses the complexities and joys of marriage. Mason shares that over the past twenty years, many couples have read his book aloud to each other, which brings him joy. He aims for readers to be touched by the mystery of divine love, fostering deeper intimacy and reverence for marriage as a reflection of God's love and His kingdom.
