Summary of Greg Smalley & Erin Smalley's Ready to Wed

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 God is the creator of marriage. Listen to how Eugene Peterson, author of The Message, paraphrases this truth: God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. And what does he want from marriage. Children of God, that’s what. #2 The purpose of marriage is to create a loving relationship between a man and a woman. If you don’t first understand how something is supposed to work, you might misuse it and end up frustrated or worse. #3 If you don’t know how something works or what it’s for, you’ll end up either making a fool of yourself or misusing it and potentially causing frustration and heartache. We want to help you understand how marriage is supposed to work and what God’s true purpose for marriage is so you can avoid making some devastating mistakes. #4 The purpose of marriage is to help us become like Christ. If you miss out on this understanding, your marriage will be destined for pain and frustration. But if you get it, especially now as you prepare to walk down the aisle, you’ll be far ahead of the rest of the pack.
