Amazing book-Debra does a great job again.
Format: Paperback
I had the privilege of reading Choosing Marriage for a review and it did not disappoint. Please do not let the title fool you, this book is not just for married couples or just for singles, it is for everyone There is so much wisdom and insight in this book, I honestly could read it more than once and get something out of it every time.
As a single woman, I appreciate a book that shows marriage for what it is. Marriage is beautiful and but it is also hard work. I think my generation has been jaded from Holly wood, that you meet the "right" person, fall in love, have kids and everything is peachy. However, if your marriage is not how you dreamed it would be then, it's OK to fall out of love and move on to next pretty face that makes you happy. Debra does a good job of debunking this myth and helping singles and married couple clear out the cob webs of what society has taught us. "Marriage is a blessing, but it doesn't happen by chance. A good marriage comes from a decision of choices."
In her book, she will point you straight to Jesus and remind us that no one can fulfill us but Him. One of my favorite quotes (and I have many favorites)from the book is "Marriage can't fulfill us to overflowing, only Jesus can. If anything marriage reveals our emptiness. It can certainly add drops of water to our emotional bucket, but it can never fill us the way we need to be filled."
I highly recommend this book and also Debra's book True loves dates. I hope this book encourages you, just like it encouraged me to choose marriage.
