The Remarriage
Adventure: Preparing for a Lifetime of Love & Happiness (Focus on the
Family)
Authors: Dale
Mathis & Susan Mathis
This is just
another self-held book. Let me just start out on (page 21) “Like the ‘concept’
of the Trinity.” Why not “Like the ‘doctrine’ of the Trinity.”? (I didn’t know
that God can be a ‘concept.)
(Page 25) “Your
goal is to learn about and understand your future mate’s heart…” Well according
to God’s word “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can
understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) I don’t think the authors have read this verse
from the Bible before they encouraged others to learn about and understand
their future mate’s heart.
(Page 93) “Conflict
can happen for lots of reasons: when your self-esteem is threatened…” Where is sin? As a Christian, conflict in a
marriage is not because of one being’s “self-esteem” is threatened but rather
when one become “self-centered”.
(Page 95) “And
with God’s help, our behavior patterns will improve.” Where is holiness?
The problem with
many marriages is they called upon the Lord as a Divine Helper to help them to
improve their behavior.
I can go on to
talk about the rest of 100 pages left of this book. I decided not to. May the
Lord put His fear in our heart to take our marriage covenant just He take His
covenants with us to the cross.
