Book Recommendations: Marriage

Scripture has much to say about marriage. As the author of Hebrews reminds us: ‘Let marriage be held in honor among all’ (Hebrews 13:4).

If you’re like me, you feel acutely the weight of your own shortcomings in marriage. Sanctification is a lifelong process in which the Holy Spirit gradually shapes us into the image of Christ — and this is just as true for our marital relationships as it is for our personal lives.

For that great aim of growth in godliness in marriage, I recommend the following books, which have been of great benefit to me.


How to Build a Godly Marriage: 12 Principles for Flourishing and Lasting by Joel Beeke and Mary Beeke.

Reforming Marriage by Douglas Wilson.

The Exemplary Husband: A Biblical Perspective by Stuart Scott.
