The Sacred Search

In 'The Sacred Search,' Gary Thomas encourages single people to rethink the basis of their marital choices.

He argues that instead of searching for a 'soul mate,' individuals should seek a 'sole mate' who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.

Thomas advises focusing on the reasons for getting married, such as shared purpose, values, and a desire to grow in the knowledge and love of God, rather than just emotional or physical attraction.

The book provides guidelines for getting to know a potential partner deeply and emphasizes the importance of character qualities like integrity, kindness, and discipline in a successful marriage.
