Weddings are a slice of heaven for the bride and groom. Many claim it is the best day of their life. And it certainly should be one of the best! But the wedding is just the beginning. Life was designed to be a continual journey of going from glory to glory. In other words, if the amount of focus and energy that was put on the wedding day was applied to marriage, its lifespan would never cease and families would thrive beyond their wildest ambitions.

Life was designed to be a continual journey of going from glory to glory. In other words, if the amount of focus and energy that was put on the wedding day was applied to marriage, its lifespan would never cease and families would thrive beyond their wildest ambitions. This can only be truly obtained when marriage is viewed through the lens of the radical Gospel of grace. Without God's grace, we can never grasp our identity in Christ. And without an understanding of our new nature in Him, husbands and wives can never realize their God-given capacity to love and view each other through the eyes of their heavenly Father who sees them as perfectly as He sees His own Son, Jesus. In Christ, we are the righteousness of God, new creations, co-heirs with Him, seated in heavenly realms, and, by the power of His Holy Spirit, empowered to do the works Jesus did and greater. In Union and Loved is a marriage ceremony centered on God's love, grace, power, and the new identity of believers through the finished work Jesus Christ accomplished for humanity. This guide will walk the bride and groom through one of the most significant and important days of their life, where they experience not just a covenant, but a supernatural sacrament in the eyes of God and witnesses.
