When he writes about relationships or family, I pay more attention. When he writes about marriage, I pay attention in the fullest way possible. He has a rare gift to take what we may think we know, and turn it inside out for a fresh reexamination using Scripture. Marriage is the most important relationship we have apart from the one we have with God. I am thankful for Gary’s passion and commitment to help us experience growth, no matter if we’re newly married or married many years. This is yet another Gary Thomas book I will recommend and use both personally and as a pastor in our church.” -- Dan Kimball, pastor and author of How (Not) to Read the Bible“A Lifelong Love is a powerful reminder that marriage is more than just a social construct or a legal arrangement. It is a deeply spiritual act ordained by God Himself. I believe married couples will find it practical and inspiring as they pursue deeper intimacy in their relationships.” -- Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family Review “If you enjoyed the acclaimed and bestselling Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas, you’ve got to read A Lifelong Love.
