Doing anything of value requires effort and skill. Creating a loving and life-giving marriage is the most valuable of all.
We have been given God's heart to carry into the world. We carry it to our friends and family and, if we're married, we carry it to our beloved. It's a wonderful thing to carry God's heart, but it's not an easy task. The challenge, of course, is that we're human. We're frail and fallible, often forgetting what we should remember and remembering what we should forget. We frequently need to forgive and be forgiven. The tile of this book,
The Practically Divine Marriage
, highlights two essential goals for marriage: putting God at the center of your marriage, and learning and practicing the skills necessary to carry His heart to the one you love.
