Sacred Marriage (Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video, 2nd Edition): What If God Designed Marriage to Make Us Holy More Than to Make Us Happy?

In the Sacred Marriage Bible Study, bestselling author and speaker Gary Thomas invites you to discover how marriage can be a spiritual discipline that shapes Christlike character. Rather than focusing only on enrichment between spouses, this study reveals how the joys and challenges of marriage can deepen your relationship with God.

This revised and updated edition includes all-new video sessions featuring fresh insights and illustrations. The study guide offers discussion questions, self-assessments, and activities designed to encourage thoughtful engagement—whether you're participating in a group, with your spouse, or on your own.

Publisher's Description

How your marriage can lead to a closer walk with God.

Have you ever thought about your marriage as more than just a union between you and your spouse? In this updated edition of the Sacred Marriage Bible Study Guide (including full access to all-new videos from Gary), you and your spouse will discover a whole new way of seeing marriage: as a spiritual discipline ideally suited to help you know God more fully and intimately—together.

Gary will help you shift the focus from marital enrichment to spiritual enrichment in ways that can help you love your mate more. Whether it's delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God.

Each session has been updated to include modern research and illustrations, key biblical principles about marriage, and wisdom from Gary's more than twenty years of teaching since the original release of his bestselling Sacred Marriage.

• The study guide itself—with video notes, a comprehensive structure for group discussion time, and a personal/couples study for deeper reflection between sessions, and a leader’s guide.
