Marriage is Hard (Susan Black)
Truths I Wish I Had Understood Before I Got Married
Don’t all of us who are married wish the same!
The title may sound like something obvious, but many wives are afraid – or too dreamy-eyed – to admit it. They go into marriage with absurdly high expectations of bliss, and when things begin to get tough, they wonder if they made a mistake – the wrong choice? They look around and think that everyone else’s marriage is full of non-stop joy and pleasure.
The reality is that all marriages are hard because they all have unavoidable and unanticipated challenges and trials. Marriage is hard because it is the union of two sinners engaged in the eternal battle between self-centeredness and servanthood, between living for self or dying to self. Marriages can flourish or die on this battlefield. But God is faithful, and He has a gracious plan of heart-transformation for any wife who will commit her way to Him.
Great for small group Bible Study. Study questions for each of the ten chapters.

Christian Marriage: From Basic Principles to Transformed Relationships (Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
In an age which has seen an almost total collapse of marriage and when, in many cases, marriages end in divorce with children being raised in ‘broken homes’, Dr. Lloyd-Jones’ words speak powerfully into our present situation. It is a situation which may be seen as giving Christians, and especially Christian marriages, a valuable opportunity to bear witness to biblical truth.
The way in which Dr. Lloyd-Jones, like the Apostle Paul, deals with marriage relationship, is extremely important – to attempt to deal with Christian practice apart from Christian doctrine is to tread a dangerous path. As these chapters on Ephesians make clear, the only Christianity powerful enough to penetrate and change society is that which is derived from the work of the Spirit of God.
