The iWorld view has wreaked havoc on the stability and longevity of marriagesBy adding a simple i before his products Steve Jobs summarized what seems to be the central obsessionof the modern Western psyche. Because of our obsession with self, we have managed to turnsomething as basic and central to our lives as marriage into something divisive and controversial.The simple complementary nature of this union between a man and woman has come under attack as aresult of this pervasive worldview that places the individual at the center.We must address the problem at its coreThe obsession with autonomyThe iWorld philosophy has also caused many well-meaning Christians to buy into its values, andscripture is often reinterpreted through its lens.Can we reverse this trend and restore the ideal of marriage to God's good and original intent?Pastor David McClain thinks so. His years of research and counseling married Christian couples dispelsthe notion that the pursuit of individual fulfillment is the path to a flourishing marriage, but it is thebelief that God designed the marriage covenant for the good for those He chooses to join together asone flesh.Pastor David McClain has a B.S. degree from Corban University, a M.Div. from Western Seminary andD.Min from Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA. He has been a pastor for almost 40 years, with 30 of thoseyears in the U.S. He is presently the senior pastor of a healthy growing church in Alberta, Canada. Thisbook is the result of years of research, experience and counseling and was presented as a sermon seriesdesigned to help believers contrast the biblical view of marriage with contemporary attitudes.
