Dan Allender & Tremper Longman, authors of The Intimate Mystery
Longman: We felt that Christians need more than another how-to, step-by-step book. Rather, we thought it would be more helpful to get people in touch with important biblical ideas about the nature of marriage. The Bible tells us everything we need to know about marriage--its purpose and goal, and its importance. We also learn important principles about the most essential aspects of marriage such as communication, sexuality, and most importantly, about repentance and forgiveness. IVP: What do you mean by the "intimate mystery" of marriage?
Allender: One the mysteries of marriage is sacrifice. "Sacrifice is not merely cleaning the floor or doing the laundry; it is suffering for, with and against the other without turning away from desire. Sacrifice compels us to enter the heartache, stories, dreams, desires and sin of the other in order to bless them. It calls us to lose ourselves in the complex web of their soul. The mystery is great--in doing so, we find ourselves. We find our truest self and the God who is true to our self. The sacrifices of love open our eyes to the mystery of Jesus' death and resurrection for us."
