Publisher Description
“Incredibly rich with wisdom and insight that will leave the reader, whether single or married, feeling uplifted.” —The Washington Times Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone—Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged—the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible. Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; and that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. But these modern-day assumptions are wrong. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious. The Meaning of Marriage offers instruction on how to have a successful marriage, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.

“This book was recommended to me by my future mother-in-law as, “The only book I wish I’d read on marriage before I was married.” I can see why. It’s an honest but uplifting look at God’s original design, the community context, growing together, sex, singleness, and cultural factors. None of it’s rocket science but it is a message our generation desperately needs to hear. I found their chapter on the charged topic of gender roles relevant and humbly worded, unlike many denominationally-driven templates out there. This book gets a tad repetitive on some points but it’s overall a great read. ”
