Besides Sex & Salvation
a marriage manual for the Christian single

the predicament:
If you’ve spent any amount of time at all as a Christian single in the church, you’ve probably learned two things about marriage.

  1. Wait until you’re married to have sex.
    and
  2. Marry a Christian.
Is there anything else?

Well yes… but usually further marriage training isn’t pursued until a couple is engaged – or at least seriously dating.

Unfortunately, that is often far too late to do much good. Once God-loving love-birds are already set to soar into marital bliss, it’s incredibly difficult for them to view their partner and their relationship objectively. And worse than their misunderstanding of themselves and their relationship, is their underestimation of marriage itself.

the premise:
Marriage is not a mere rite of passage, the “normal” thing to do or the next logical step for a serious relationship. Marriage is an awesome calling; awesome in the sense that its purpose is far greater than the mutual satisfaction of those uniting in marriage. And as a calling, it assumes the need for both sober preparation and divine inspiration.

the promise:
Besides Sex & Salvation will help you understand what makes marriage work... and not work. You’ll find out what it takes to navigate the road to marriage and through marriage carefully, purposefully and successfully. More importantly, this book can give you unique and practical insight into God’s plan for your life right now – as a single adult – equipping you with useful tools and guidelines for communicating, working through conflict, and growing in Christ.

Whether you remain single or your rendezvous w/ Mr. or Ms. Right is right around the corner, you’ll acquire an invaluable outlook on relationships in general and marriage in particular from reading Besides Sex & Salvation.
