Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone - Christians, sceptics, 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.

In previous books respected New York pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller has looked at such diverse and topical subjects as the existence of God, our need to do justice, the meaning of Jesus' life, and the human temptation to make idols - all through the twin lenses of a biblical framework and an engagement with contemporary culture. In this new book, co-authored with his wife, Kathy, he turns his attention to that most complex of matters: our need for love, and its expression in marriage. Beginning with the biblical narrative, and its pictures of marriage that span the original ideal to the broken to the redemptive, he looks at themes of friendship and commitment; the completion of men and women in each other; singleness, sex and divorce; and ministry and discipleship within the context of marriage. This is a profound and engaging work that will challenge and inspire people in all stages of life - single, newlywed and married.

The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment With the Wisdom of God$32.99
I read this book when I was single. It helped me learn a lot about the topic of marriage, how to go about finding a partner, and what marriage love should look like. This book holds a lot of wisdom and I have purchase several copies to gift to friends who are dating or got engaged. I think everyone should read it or listen to Timothy Keller‘s sermon series on marriage this book is based on!

Great Biblical View on Marriage
I am struggling through marriage. This book has help so much as it peels back the layers of uncertainty and points to the fact that marriage is supposed to be unique and reflect the relationship between Christ and the church. I have really had my eyes opened and I am looking at my marriage through vastly different eyes now.
I highly recommend this book.
Worth the price to receive the insight.
As you read I would suggest praying and opening your heart up to what this book says.
