Summary
 In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, author Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices, in large part by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on.

Readers are encouraged to think beyond finding their “soul mate,” an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate”— someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.

Thomas asks, What if we focused on why to get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? Christian Living Christianity Love, Dating & Attraction Relationships Marriage

A must read for all Christians whether single, courting, married or divorced! It’s by far the most balanced spiritually and practically and equally challenging book. The author has done a service to the Kingdom in writing this book and I’ll definitely be recommending it to others. God bless you Gary!

Best book on Christian relationships I have ever read!

I enjoyed this. The reading was as passionate as required and the wisdom of the words hit home. The only complaint I have is there is something wrong with Chapter 10. I don't think it is complete.

An excellent reading of great wisdom

Very helpful in places, strongly practical, but felt it lacked biblical depth or devotion in places, especially around the gospel. A good book to gauge how your thinking of marriage and your partner.
