Isn't sexual -- or emotional -- intimacy enough? "No," says Christian psychologist Dr. David Clarke. "Spiritual bonding is the process by which a couple cultivates the presence of God in their relationship," he says, "and it's the only 'glue' that sustains relationships long-term." Working with hundreds of couples, Clarke observes that when we take specific steps to keep God at the center of our relationships, every area of intimacy is energized. This book teaches men and women in a committed relationship how to pray together, create "spiritual conversations," read and study Scripture together, hold private worship sessions, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide them. It's extremely practical counsel all couples need today.From the Trade Paperback edition.

What if it's not about who you marry, but why? The author of Sacred Marriage reminds singles that if they don't know why to marry, they won't know who to marry. In The Sacred Search, Gary Thomas challenges readers to think beyond finding a "soul mate" and to look for a "sole mate" -- someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey. Turning conventional dating wisdom upside-down, Thomas asks: What if there's no such thing as "the one" -- there's something even better in God's plan? What if being "in love" isn't a good enough reason to get married? What if God designed marriage to make us holy rather than happy? The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around a shared spiritual mission and making a marriage with eternity at its heart. - Publisher.
