Marriage is a significant milestone in many people's lives, often portrayed as the culmination of a romantic love story. From fairy tales to Hollywood movies, we are led to believe that finding the perfect partner is the key to a happily ever after.

But what if we challenge this notion?

The Common Approach

Traditionally, most people focus on finding the right person to marry. Compatibility, shared interests, and physical attraction are often considered essential factors. While these aspects are undoubtedly important, perhaps there is another perspective that deserves our attention.

The Importance of the "Why"

Instead of obsessing over who we marry, what if we shift our focus to why we want to get married? The underlying motivations driving our desire to enter into a lifelong commitment might play a more significant role in the success of a marriage than the person we choose.

Understanding Ourselves

Self-reflection is a crucial step in understanding our motivations. Examining our reasons for wanting to get married helps us uncover our deepest desires, values, and expectations. This insight can guide us towards finding a partner who aligns with our vision and goals.

The Role of Compatibility

Compatibility is not just about shared hobbies and interests; it goes beyond superficial aspects. By understanding why we want to get married, we gain clarity on the values and qualities we seek in a partner, ensuring a deeper connection that transcends the boundaries of time.

Building a Strong Foundation

Rather than relying solely on the other person to complete us, we can focus on building a solid foundation within ourselves. This foundation consists of self-love, personal growth, and a strong sense of identity. When we approach marriage from a place of wholeness, we can share our lives with another person without losing ourselves in the process.

The Importance of Communication

Effective communication is vital in any relationship. When we understand why we chose our partner, we can have open and honest conversations about our needs, expectations, and concerns. This level of communication enhances the bond between partners, fostering a deeper connection and understanding.

While finding the right person is undoubtedly important, it is equally crucial to understand why we want to marry. By focusing on our motives, desires, and expectations, we can make a more informed choice, finding a partner who complements our journey and values. Remember, it's not just about who you marry but why.

Bestselling author Gary Thomas transforms the way you look at romantic relationships. His unique perspective on dating will prepare you for a satisfying, spiritually enriching marriage.
 
In the revised edition of his hit book 
The Sacred Search,  Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on.
 
You will be encouraged to think beyond finding your “soul mate” and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate”—someone who will walk with you on your spiritual journey.
 
Thomas asks, What if we focused on 
why we should get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?
 
The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around shared spiritual mission—and making marriage with eternity at its heart.
