About the book
Marriage is the union of two people who arrive at the altar toting some surprisingly large luggage. Often it gets opened right there on the honeymoon, sometimes it waits for the week after. The Bible calls it sin and understanding its influence can make all the difference for a man and a woman who are building a life together.
Dave’s writing embraces the reader with humor and honesty as he speaks about sin and the power of the gospel to overcome it. He opens the delightful truth of God’s word and encourages the reader to see more clearly the glorious picture of what God does when sinners say "I do."
Endorsements
"Dave Harvey skillfully exposed the real root of most marriage problems — each spouse is still a sinner. But he doesn't leave us to wallow in our sin. He shows the way out through the ongoing power of the gospel. This book will be helpful for any married couple whether they’ve been married five weeks or fifty years."
—Jerry Bridges, author of The Pursuit of Holiness
"Dave Harvey's wise and godly counsel has already helped so many couples follow Christ together in the exhilarating and exhausting journey of marriage."
—Collin Hansen, editorial director, The Gospel Coalition; author, Blind Spots: Becoming a Courage, Compassionate, and Commissioned Church
"Dave Harvey cuts to the heart of what all of us are like—people needing daily, freely-given mercies from the Lord. And he cuts to the heart of what all of us need—not self-help, not a pep talk, not a few tips, but an active Savior. Listen, take to heart, and you will grow wiser as a husband or wife."
—David Powlison, Executive Director, CCEF; Senior Editor, Journal of Biblical Counseling
"There is no laboratory for the grace of God like the family home. And there is no relationship so crucial to the work of grace in our homes as our marriages. It’s for these reasons I’m so grateful for Dave Harvey’s careful, wise, and relevant teaching in When Sinners Say I Do. Let Dave lead you with great experience and pastoral care through the hard places of marriage right into the very throne room of God, where you both will find abundant grace for every need you have from now until your nineties."
—Jared C. Wilson, Director of Content Strategy, Midwestern Seminary; blogger, The Gospel-Driven Church
