The Mystery of Marriage 20th Anniversary Edition: Meditations on the Miracle

Meditate on the Spiritual Significance of Marriage

In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason goes on a poetic search to understand the wondrous dynamics of committed love. In highly readable, first-person style, Masonâ€™s writing stimulates readersâ€™ thoughts and prayers and propels couples to deeper intimacy. â€œA marriage is not a joining of two worlds,â€ says the author, â€œbut an abandoning of two worlds in order that one new one might be formed.â€ Rich chapters on â€œOtherness,â€ â€œVows,â€ â€œIntimacy,â€ â€œSex,â€ â€œSubmission,â€ and an all-new chapter on â€œOnenessâ€ lift readers to view the eternal, spiritual nature of this faith-filled, â€œimpossible,â€ wildâ€”yet wonderfulâ€”frontier.

â€œAn outstanding achievement. Rarely has a book aroused in me so much enthusiasm as has the combination of wisdom, depth, dignity, and glow that I find in these chapters.â€
-J.I. Packer

â€œAbsolutely exquisite. It reaches down deep into our innermost being, revealing, revitalizing, rewarding. A real classic.â€
-Gigi Graham Tchividjian

â€œA drop everything book. Mason deals with the stunning paradoxes of the mystery, the problems, and the glories of marriage. I donâ€™t need to read any other book on the subject.â€
-Elisabeth Elliot

Story Behind the Book

"Over the twenty years since its publication, many couples have told me that theyâ€™ve read my book aloud to each other. This always amazes me and gives me great joy. Iâ€™m also amazed that many single people have read it. Either way, my goal is for hearts to be warmed by the mystery of divine love. I want couples to enter into deeper intimacy by thinking together about the mystery of marriageâ€”about how their love, besides being a gift of God, reflects the very love He has for Himself in the Trinity. For God is not a bachelor, and throughout the Bible marriage is a supreme picture of the nature of Godâ€™s love and of His kingdom. I want people who read my book to feel so soaked in these wonderful, divine mysteries that it deepens their reverence for marriage and inspires them to greater love."Â Â
