"For better or worse" sounded so poetic at the altar, but no one warned us about the "worse" that wouldn't come with a script. No one prepared us for the silent nights, the shattered expectations, or the unexpected sanctification that would come not through romance but through refinement.
In Sacrificial Love: The Marriage I Didn't Say I Do To, Husbands and Wives Tell All, husbands and wives lay bare the truth about the marriages they didn't say "I do" to-the unspoken vows to endure heartbreak, to love through deep disappointment, and to wrestle with the refining fire of covenant commitment. Through riveting testimonies, couples and spouses share the unexpected turns, the sacred struggles, and the quiet, cruciform love that mirrors the greatest sacrifice of all-Christ on the cross.
Whether you're newly married, long-wed, or fighting to hold on, this book will remind you: true love isn't found in the easy but in the enduring. Just as Christ laid down His life for us (Ephesians 5:25), so too are we called to lay down our lives for each other-not just in the grand gestures, but in the every day, unseen acts of grace.
Are you ready to love beyond feeling? To sacrifice beyond self? To step into the kind of marriage that heaven celebrates, even when the world doesn't understand?
