Through the honest reflections of a number of cou­ples, younger and older, and her own biblical\/pastoral reflections on God's good gift of marriage to His creatures, Rebecca VanDoode­waard explores, often with an unsettling honesty, the joys, privileges, sorrows, and strains experienced by Christians in marriage. Just as the Bible never allows us to imagine that life in a fallen world will ever be without tears, Rebecca acknowledges this, but shows us that for Christians, marriage is a gracious gift from a God who longs to see His children experience 'covenant joy in a fallen world.' I recom­mend this book without any hesitation.“\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—Dr. Ian Hamilton\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ligonier Ministries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41914964443195,"sku":"HAP02PDF","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/0642\/4891\/files\/HAP02PDF_front.jpg?v=1764618248","url":"https:\/\/ligonierministries.myshopify.com\/products\/a-happy-marriage-digital-study-guide","provider":"Ligonier Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
