Dave Harvey's recently released book on marriage, entitled When Sinner's Say "I Do" is a wonderful resource for anyone who is married or preparing to get married.From the preface ...
To say "I am a sinner" is to stare boldly at a fundamental reality that many people don't even want to glance at ... marriage is the union of two people who arrive toting the luggage of life. And that luggage always contains sin.
We must not ignore our sin, because it is the very context where the gospel shines brightest ... when the sin we bring to marriage becomes real to us, then the gospel becomes vital and marriage becomes sweet.
Your marriage can be built or rebuilt upon a solid and enduring foundation. But we must start where the gospel starts; there lies the hope for sinners who say "I do."
This book is primarily about our sin, God's goodness to give us the grace we need and the power of the gospel which then enables us to have God-glorifying marriages.
I also came across this outstanding article by C.J. Mahaney entitled Cravings and Conflicts. He begins by examining James 4:1-2. He then examines three things about relational conflict:
~Conflict is More Serious Than We Think
~Conflict is Simpler to Understand Than We Think
~Conflict is Easier to Resolve Than We Think
These are both outstanding resources!
