Foundational Matrimony: Building Your Marriage on Biblical Truth

Ryan and his wife can testify that they have tried marriage from contrasting perspectives-by the world's standards and by God's design. Granted, as they lived for themselves for a season, they had what most would consider a healthy marriage. Yet, there was an unexplainable lack of depth to their relationship. Candidly, it was not until they both took their walk with God seriously by daily and mutually dying to themselves and denying their flesh that their relationship began to flourish. It's certainly the opposite of what they would have expected, but as Jesus said, "whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" (Matthew 16:25). Foundational Matrimony is Ryan's attempt to articulate to men and women biblical truths that will help marriages thrive under God's leadership. In this book, foundational principles related to God's initial intent for marriage are discussed, followed by a detailed discussion regarding the mandate to leave and cleave, thereby cultivating a spirit of oneness between husband and wife. Ryan then reviews what God commands concerning gender-specific roles in the marital relationship, and closes the text by addressing some foundational realities that are pertinent to every marriage. Whether you are considering marriage, are newlyweds in the honeymoon phase, are a sleep-deprived couple in the throes of raising little ones, have been married for decades, or are somewhere in between, Ryan's prayer is that the biblical truths and personal testimonies shared in this text will enrich your relationship and glorify God.
