Gospel Centered Marriage by Tim Chester

Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of "marriage". It's not just the famous "marriage passages" that should shape a marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God's good creation, humanity's wicked rebellion and God's gracious redemption.

To understand why marriages struggle--as they all do--we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and his salvation.

This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the gospel can shape a response.
