Summary: Powerful, poetic book on the true MYSTERY of marriage
Comment: Well, I guess it's about time to write a review for Mystery of Marriage after reading it over and over many times since my husband and I were first dating (8 years ago) and after giving it as a wedding gift to every single bride and groom we know. This book is a masterpiece. It stands alone as the most richly woven piece of literature about the state of being married that I have ever read. Mike Mason puts eloquent, authentic words to the feelings every husband and wife experience in a manner that makes you SO glad that you're married (or about to be) EVEN IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING REAL STRUGGLE. You cannot help but be moved by his riveting description of the marriage union...both the utter agony and the sheer bliss. The book builds as the true MYSTERY of marriage unfolds before you...the very thing we all long to understand and to grasp. Once you're into this book for very long, what will really send deep shivers through your soul is the realization that this unbelievabley 'impossible' union we are trying to have with our mate is only hinting at the extraordinary marriage between our God and us. Yes, this beautiful analogy has been written of numerous times before, but trust me...not like this. I would recommend ordering at least TWO copies of this book... one to give away and one to read simultaneously with your partner.(I suggest alone, because these words are powerful and seering, and to be most effective, perhaps need to be contemplated deeply in solitude.) You will not be sorry to have invested in this book...and don't let the 'gift book' appearance turn you off...I believe it was packaged this way to encourage giving it to couples. Give it to YOURSELF first. And to God be the Glory!

Summary: Sacred yet humble approach!
Comment: It's no wonder that Dr. J I Packer praised so highly his former student (Mason) at Regent College. Thus, Mason has achieved a rare goal as a newly married young author! He excelled his teacher on this subject! As a Marriage and Family Counselor I 've been giving out this book to engaged couples as thier wedding gift. Also I gave those who improved their relationships thru counseling sessions this book as a token of appreciation. Compact yet deep! It makes you humble before the loving father and Creator. If every medical doctor and pastor approaches the client or parishioner with such an awe and humble attitude, the church will be renewed by those humble leaders with God's abundant blessings. This book makes you seek more earnestly God's grace in our helpless predicament of married life!

Summary: Phenomenal insights.... Phenomenally written
Comment: WOW.... thank you Mike Mason! My fiance and I are reading this book together during our long-distance engagement and find that the insights are thoroughly enriching to our relationship. This book deals with the spiritual picture of marriage, absolutely no practical "do's and don'ts" here. There are no "how to's" or guidelines for having a successful marriage... and honestly, such information seems so surface compared to the richness and wealth offered by this book. Understanding and applying the truths presented here almost guarantees a joyful and harmonious marriage. the mystery of marriage unveils the bedrock of marriage and then causes it to glow! I look forward to reading this book out loud with my wonderful husband in the many delightful years to come. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
