Publisher's summary

A Gracious, Biblical Model for Marriage

Married Christians, and those preparing for marriage, know that they’re sinners—and that their sin threatens God’s great purposes for their union, including mutual support, companionship, and intimacy. But how often do believers recognize that they are also saints, equipped through God’s power to create a healthy, loving marriage?

In Gospel-Shaped Marriage, Chad and Emily Van Dixhoorn encourage couples with how Christ calls and enables them to love their spouse. They give a brief assessment of the biblical design for marriage while offering practical, proven advice for husbands and wives. Drawing from Scripture and the writings of Puritan minister William Gouge, their advice also prepares churches, friends, and others to support married couples in their lives.

  • Comprehensive and Theological: Includes a summary of marriage in redemptive history, recommended Bible verses with each chapter, and prayer prompts
  • Accessible: Offers guidance for singles preparing for marriage, young and mature couples, struggling couples, and those who want to strengthen their relationship
  • Practical Advice: Written by a pastor and his wife, this concise, easy-to-understand guide includes discussion questions for each chapter

Great Little Book

Easy read. Not too dense. Not too fluffy. It motivated me to be a better husband.

Helpful and centered on God

As someone who is not yet married, this offered a realistic view of marriage and how we need to view ourselves in light of God's grace and how to view our spouse as well. Relying on the grace and strength of God is key.
