marriage book

i am in a bible study with some really great girls.  we're all recently married or getting married soon (me).  they've been such a joy to be around and bounce questions off of and laugh with and talk about the Word.

we started a new bible study book this week, and i'm pretty crazy about it.

it's called "when sinners say i do" by dave harvey.  it's really awesome.  the jist of it is that in a married relationship, or dating relationship even, the two people are both sinners and we have to recognize that first and foremost.  if we begin to recognize ourselves as the worst of sinners (as paul does) then we'll be the most aware of grace - both for ourselves and for our spouses.

i've learned so much from it already, and i'd recommend it to any married, nearly married, or seriously dating couple.  it's got a lot of great perspective on a Christian marriage and how to serve God first.

go buy it.  really.  you'll love it.  and so will your spouse when you treat them like sugar :)
