In the twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis a beautiful young woman offers assistance to a
weary traveler and his camels, and out of that simple action, a marriage results--a
marriage that offers profound lessons to couples today. Bible scholar and renowned speaker
Ravi Zacharias draws five points critical to the long-lasting success of every marriage
from the biblical story of the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah.
"Real love folds together both the emotions and the will," writes Zacharias.
"Without the emotions, marriage is a drudgery; without the will, it is a
mockery." Building upon that foundational truth, Zacharias goes on to explain the
principles of seeking the counsel of others when finding a mate, cherishing your partner,
remaining pure, becoming a man or woman of prayer, and, finally, risking everything in a
relationship in order to experience God's ideal for love.
Couples everywhere, from those about to be married, to those who have been married for
decades, will draw strength and wisdom for the journey of marriage as they learn from Ravi
what it means to move from romance to lasting love. |
