The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God Hardcover - 2011
by Timothy Keller; Kathy Keller
Keller delivers an extraordinarily insightful look at the keys to happiness in marriage. Few subjects are as compelling--or as endlessly variable--as love and marriage. The Bible is filled with references to husbands and wives, each open to interpretation. Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and bestselling author, uses the scriptures as his guide to show readers what God's call to marriage is, and why this is such a powerful call.
Summary
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.
Just as this book is based on his popular sermon series, so will his Encounters with Jesus series, the first of which, The Skeptical Student comes out in December.
