Your Marriage Reflects Your Relationship with Christ

A few years ago, Katie and I faced the biggest crisis of our marriage. I started pastoring Woodland Christian Church when it was small, but within three years the congregation tripled in size. I admit that before I became a pastor, I was unaware of how much work is involved in shepherding a church of even a few hundred people. I had been an Army officer, a supervisor at a distribution center for a major retail chain, and an elementary school teacher. But none of those occupations approached the amount of mental and emotional energy and sheer hard work pastoring entails!

Almost all my waking hours were packed with studying, teaching, counseling, making phone calls, sending emails, attending meetings, addressing administrative responsibilities, and tending to benevolence issues. When I was at home, where I should have been an engaged father and husband, I did not have much left for my family mentally, emotionally, or physically.

Although I was failing as a husband and father, I was able to convince myself I was still pleasing the Lord. I compartmentalized my life by saying, “I am a Christian first. I am a spouse second. I am a parent third. I am an employee fourth.” Instead, I should have said, “I am a Christian spouse. I am a Christian parent. I am a Christian employee.” The danger of seeing ourselves as Christian servants first and spouses second is we can find ourselves believing the lie I bought into at the time: “If I can be a good pastor, I can please God even though I am not the best husband.”

The truth is that I was a poor husband, and I should have recognized that meant I was not pleasing the Lord.

My Thoughts

Your Marriage God’s Way is written by Washington Scott LaPierre. This is a good book to read with your spouse. The author is very passionate about God and God's view of marriage. I really like the way he wrote this book. It was like sitting down and talking to a friend. Often, we see Christian help books that are written by people who seem to on a higher level than us, however this was one that I laughed, I cried, it made me think about some things.

I am not a perfect wife. Nor is my husband perfect - this is true for me as well as the author as he writes the beginning of the book. This book is broken into 8 parts. Each chapter is easy to read and the writing flows easily. He backs his statements up with Bible Verses that tie nicely into the topic he is discussing.

The author looks at both men and women's roles in the marriage. He even writes about the role of submission. Now this can be a hot topic due to the push of feminism in our world. But I submit to my husband and I don't feel like he controls me or is trying to squash me. I respect my husband's leadership and feel protected. This would be a great book for couples who are engaged and getting ready to be married, those newly married, or just a general marriage bible study.

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging Program - all thoughts are my own.
