Date Your Wife

 

I should really be in bed right now trying to sleep, but I had to post this. I love being a member of Garden City Church in San Jose and having a pastor like Justin Buzzard who is constantly challenging me and the other men in our church to really stand up, believe the Gospel, give our entire lives over to Jesus, and serve those around us. I am particularly encouraged hearing him discuss the role of Christian men in the marriage through his book Date Your Wife (you should really pick it up, whether you’re a man or a woman). He sets the bar very high, but that’s because we have Jesus Christ as our perfect example. And although the bar is set high, he doesn’t tell us to work harder and apply the “law” of marriage to ourselves and beat ourselves when we fail. Here’s the reality: we are all going to fail, but Jesus didn’t and Jesus is making us into new creations who love and serve the way we should. Check out this interview Justin did with Desiring God:

And here’s the trailer for the book:
