Book excerpt: Drawing on their experience helping couples prepare for marriage, Richard and Mei-Ling White offer this meditation on marriage preparation in the Bible, and what we can learn from the examples of Sarah and Tobias, Jacob and Rachel, and many others! In a world where nearly all professions take years of training before being able to practice in one’s chosen field, what is arguably the most important “profession” – i.e. marriage – is too-often entered into with little to no training or preparation. They discuss the importance of the time before marriage to learn and practice self-giving love, so that when a marriage begins the couple has an understanding of what it means to give themselves fully to each other!
