The Mystery of Marriage Meditations on the Miracle

In his now-classic volume, Mike Mason makes a poetic search for understanding of the wondrous dynamics of committed love. In highly readable, first-person style, Mason muses on everyday miracles within marriage, and frankly addresses the demands to self which true oneness requires. "A marriage is not a joining of two worlds, " says the author, "but an abandoning of two worlds in order that one new one might be formed." Rich chapters on "Otherness, " "Vows," "Intimacy, " "Sex, " and "Submission, " lift readers above the mundane in coupledom to view the eternal, spiritual nature of setting out on this faith-filled, "impossible, " wild -- yet wonderful -- frontier.
