Chapter 1: Letters to my daughters

Marriage is a Masterpiece

God wants my marriage and yours to inspire wonder in those who are close enough to see the radiant beauty only He can create (p.19)

Our marriages are meant to be statements of wonder to the watching world, statements of the goodness, the power, and the beauty of God. My fascination with this painting leads me to want to know Mako, the artist himself, to learn from him, to see his talent up close. And os it is that admiring a beautifully mature marriage makes us want to know both the couple and the Creator. And that is the eternal purpose for marriage, making Him known.
