A Christ-Centered Wedding: Rejoicing in the Gospel on Your Big Day
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Wedding planning has spawned a major industry. The average
cost of the occasion now exceeds $25,000, and societal pressure to
create the “perfect day” is so strong that even Christian couples
forget what God originally intended for the sacred marriage
ceremony.
While paying attention to the good fun that follows that
special proposal (the dress, the flowers, the cake, the gatherings,
etc.), A Christ-Centered Wedding first serves as a guide to
believers who want their wedding to portray the relationship of
Christ with the church and to reflect the gospel to all in
attendance.
From the start, this thoughtful book looks to the Creator of
weddings for guidance in planning by emphasizing the sacrificial
love of the Savior more than the modern world’s idealistic view of
romantic love. There are chapters filled with practical information
about everything from pre-marital counseling and choosing a wedding
location to other resources like a planning checklist and timeline,
music suggestions, guidance on potential issues of conflict, a
listing of traditional financial responsibilities, sample vows, and
other great ideas from couples who have successfully put together a
Christ-centered wedding.
