The meaning of marriage : facing the complexities of commitment with the wisdom of God / Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller.
Based on the sermon series by the author, this book shows everyone, including 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, according to the author. Using the Bible as his guide, coupled with commentary from his wife of thirty-six years, Kathy, the author 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.
