In the 20th anniversary edition of this Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason goes on a poetic search to understand the wondrous dynamics of committed love. In highly readable, first-person style, Mason's writing stimulates readers' thoughts and prayers and propels couples to deeper intimacy. 'A marriage is not a joining of two worlds,' says the author , 'but an abandoning of two worlds in order that one new one might be formed.' Rich chapters on 'Otherness,' 'Vows,' 'Intimacy,' 'Sex,' 'Submission,' and an all-new chapter on 'Oneness' lift readers to view the eternal, spiritual nature of this faith-filled, 'impossible,' wild yet wonderful frontier.
