The movies don't show when the kids are all upset and someone needs to calm them down or when the husband works long hours and every appliance in the house seems to break. They also don't show a marriage with three special needs children and going through therapy, doctors, etc.
But while Marriage is tough, messy, it is also beautiful.
God gave us marriage as a gift to have a lifetime companion, and for us to walk together with Him and with each other.
In her latest book Messy Beautiful Love - Hope and Redemption for Real Life Marriages author Darlene Schacht shares her heart with her readers. The book starts off with Darlene telling her own story. But throughout the book she shares heart warming stories, heartfelt wisdom, and tells her story of how God redeemed her broken marriage and changed it for His Glory.
Each chapter has a lot of wisdom told in a picturesque way and is full of scripture along with stories that every woman and man can relate to.
Then at the end of each chapter you will find a Challenge which you can apply to your marriage to help strengthen your relationship with your spouse and with the Lord.
This book is powerful. It will have you smiling, laughing, and even shedding a few tears as she tells a story of love, grace, redemption and faith....you won't want to put the book down.
I know you will find yourself as I did highlighting quote after quote, scripture after scripture and going, "Wow, God that speaks to me.
As you read the book, have a notebook handy so you can take notes. It is a book you will read over and over again.
You can order this book at a number of retailers including Amazon.com.
