“God made marriage to make us holy, not to make us happy.” is the theme of this book.

I got this book to work on the topic of Marriage (the M I use in my personal focus study). I ended up liking it a lot–as a christian marriage overview. There is lots of good stuff on service, some strong examples of working marriages, lots of honesty, a good biblical foundation, and in general it is an easy read.

The part about the need to have sexual release in order to strengthen ones meditative practice was very good. The discussion of the need for confession was good. The idea of focusing on the Married Saints rather than the Holy Isolator was also refreshing.
