Overview

A good marriage isn’t something found; it’s something made. In this revised and updated edition of the bestselling book A Lifelong Love, author Gary Thomas shares that when couples pursue spiritual purpose and worship it builds lasting intimacy and friendship between them.

  • The journey toward love

Whether readers are feeling discouraged about their marriage or simply want to infuse their relationship with greater spiritual and relational passion, A Lifelong Love offers the guidance they need to embrace the eternal intentions that God has for them.

“A profound, beautiful, and lifelong love in marriage is anchored in our relationship with God. This book takes you there!”
“If you enjoyed the acclaimed and bestselling Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas, you’ve got to read A Lifelong Love. This book is incredible. Consider it your road map to obtaining all that God designed your marriage to be. You absolutely don’t want to miss out on this life-changing message.”
“When Gary Thomas writes anything, I pay attention. When he writes about relationships or family, I pay more attention. When he writes about marriage, I pay attention in the fullest way possible. He has a rare gift to take what we may think we know, and turn it inside out for a fresh reexamination using Scripture. Marriage is the most important relationship we have apart from the one we have with God. I am thankful for Gary’s passion and commitment to help us experience growth, no matter if we’re newly married or married many years. This is yet another Gary Thomas book I will recommend and use both personally and as a pastor in our church.”
“A Lifelong Love is a powerful reminder that marriage is more than just a social construct or a legal arrangement. It is a deeply spiritual act ordained by God Himself. I believe married couples will find it practical and inspiring as they pursue deeper intimacy in their relationships.”

Gary Thomas is writer-in-residence at Second Baptist Church in Houston, a frequent guest on Focus on the Family and FamilyLife Today radio, and a popular speaker around the world. His award-winning books have been translated into fifteen languages and have sold two million copies. Thomas and his wife have three children.
