Publisher's summary

Gary Thomas, pastor and best-selling author of Sacred Marriage, believes that one simple word can bring hope, light, and life into any marriage: Cherish.

Most marriages survive by gritting teeth and holding on. But what if surviving marriage wasn't the goal? What if we aimed to thrive instead? In Cherish, Thomas teaches us that although there are a countless number of marriages consisting of two people just going through the motions, there are real ways this pattern can be reversed: When husbands and wives learn to cherish one another in their everyday actions and words.

The way we treat something acknowledges whether we cherish it or hold it with indifference or contempt. To truly cherish something is to go out of our way to show it off, protect it, and honor it. We want others to see and recognize and affirm the value that we see. Thomas reminds us that in a world desperate for marriage redemption, the act of cherishing is needed now more than ever.

Cherishing your spouse will elevate your marriage relationally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. You will set different goals for your relationship, and you'll see your marriage with fresh eyes. Through personal stories, real-world examples, and timeless biblical truths, Thomas shares the tools you need to turn your marriage around, including:

  • Using your mind to change your heart
  • Sacrificing for your spouse
  • Praying with intentionality
  • Prioritizing your life partner

Through the biblical act of cherishing, we can empower our spouses to become who they are called by God to be, and in the process to become more of who we are called to be, creating a marriage that feels more precious, more connected, and more satisfying. If you're ready to revolutionize your relationship, it's time to learn how to truly Cherish it.

Whether you are married or single or a parent. We all have relationships with people.. This book will benefit anybody who is willing to listen and open their heart their heart to evaluating their self and their relationships around them. As I was reading this (Mind you I've been married for 13 years come September , and I'm a mother of 4,) I found myself evaluating all of my relationships and how I could better every single one of them. Thank you Gary Thomas for your transparency were your transparency, walking with Jesus, and sharing your wisdom.
