The Meaning of Marriage

Facing the Complexities of Marriage with the Wisdom of God

By: Timothy Keller

Narrated by: Lloyd James, Marguerite Gavin

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.

will teach singles what to look for in a partner

Enjoyed by singles too

I listened to this book first and then introduced it to the girl with whom I am exploring to be in a relationship with. She also was drawn to be truths in this book, filled with human experience and God's Word. Some parts scared her a bit but I don't regret getting things done the right (and hard) way from the start.

Difficult truth but much needed

I picked this book up at or in a difficult time of my marriage and pray God can help me grow to adhere to Tim and Kathy's truth about marriage, may God bless all those that find this book and grow in their spiritual journey with God.

Amazing listen

Amazing book, a must listen / read for married and unmarried couples! It has got lots of great truths in it!
