Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

The central component of marriage is “leaving and cleaving.” After the “I do’s,” we leave our parents’ authority and live with our mates in a new home without the meddling of relatives. Otherwise, our marriage can be in great danger.

Buyer’s remorse is something we all deal with. We all wonder if that appliance we bought was really the best choice. When it comes to marriage, there is no place for buyer’s remorse.
