More About This Book

Overview

There has never been a marriage book like THE MEANING OF MARRIAGE.

Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone-Christians, skeptics, singles, long-time married couples, and those about to be engaged-the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible.

Modern culture would make 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; that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. All those modern-day assumptions are, in a word, wrong.

Using the Bible as his guide, coupled with insightful commentary from his wife of thirty-six years, Kathy, Timothy Keller shows that God created marriage to bring us closer to him and to bring us more joy in our lives. It is a glorious relationship that is also the most misunderstood and mysterious. With a clear-eyed understanding of the Bible, and meaningful instruction on how to have a successful marriage, The Meaning of Marriage is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Reverend Timothy Keller (King's Cross; Prodigal God) has written many books, but this is his most personal and perhaps most controversial. In The Meaning of Marriage, he grapples with modern ideas about marriage and romantic relationships and concludes that most of them are dead wrong. In their stead, he presents an approach harvested from the Bible. Joined by Kathy, his wife of thirty-six years, Keller explains how marriage was created by God to bring us closer to Him and that by understanding that first principle, we can bring true happiness and fulfillment to our deepest human connections.

    Has Very Thoughtful Nuggets

    CONS:
    Last half the book is footnotes. Overall, it's common sense & common knowledge.

    PROS:
    Has a number of thoughtful nuggets that can be if you truly reflect on can be revealing into yourself or a relationship. I'm keeping mine on my Nook for all the highlights.

    The best book on the spiritual meaning of marriage we have every read. We are reommending it to our friends and family and my husband is using it in his male mentoring ministry.

    In this book, Keller helps couples to see marriage as God sees marriage. He encourages couples to work at marriage realizing that it is a covenant relationship between two people and God. Couples are encouraged to have their mutual goal that of drawing each other closer to the throne of God.
