Married for God: Making Your Marriage the Best It Can Be

“Christopher Ashs Married for God commends an inviting, practical, and pastoral vision of biblical marriage. His clarity on the beauty and purpose of Gods design for marriage is both crucial for our day and deeply refreshing. He offers inspiration for newly married couples and a recalibration for those who have been married longer. His sensitivity to those who are single and long to be married and to those struggling with infertility makes the breadth of this book a resource of kindhearted care for most Christian adults. We gladly recommend this wise and winsome book and pray that many will be helped in catching the vision God has designed marriage to be.”

“Christopher Ash elevates marriage to a level far beyond what a husband and a wife bring to and receive from each other. Above all, marriage is a partnership in the service of the Lord. Such a Christward focus causes husbands and wives to soar together for Gods glory and for their own enormous satisfaction. Married for God is a profound and practical book, an important read for everyone whose life is blessed to be touched by marriage.”

“These days, stated goals concerning the essence of marriage are endlessand endlessly contradictory. Where to begin? With God, says Christopher Ash. Without this focus, things like good communication skills and agreement over financeshowever important they may beare not strong enough goods in themselves to overcome the void of not having God at the center. Just as we exist for him individually, so too do our marriages. Im very thankful for this little book. I have consumed it deeply and will disseminate it widely.”

“In Married for God, Christopher Ash provides a biblical foundation for a God-centered understanding of marriage that will help to correct weak and idolatrous perspectives and lead to honoring God and edifying his people. He offers biblical commentary and theological conclusions with real-life vignettes for seamless application. Among the many books on marriage, this one gets to the point with clarity and robust theological insight.”

“When I first married, I wanted to read all the how-to books on marriage. And there are plenty out there. If youre thinking about getting married, just married, or need to remember the why of marriage, pick up this excellent resource.”

“Engaged couples would benefit from carefully reading this book. The way Ash applies the Bible is pithy, practical, and wise.”

“In a world debating the value and purpose of marriage comes this little book called Married for God. It is a wonderful introduction to the purpose and function of marriage and intimacy. This book is perfect for couples contemplating marriage, and it is a good reminder to those already committed to marriage of why God designed it for our flourishing.”
