Download The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God Audiobook

" This book was recommended to me by my future mother-in-law as, "The only book I wish I'd read on marriage before I was married." I can see why. It's an honest but uplifting look at God's original design, the community context, growing together, sex, singleness, and cultural factors. None of it's rocket science but it is a message our generation desperately needs to hear. I found their chapter on the charged topic of gender roles relevant and humbly worded, unlike many denominationally-driven templates out there. This book gets a tad repetitive on some points but it's overall a great read. "

" I have know been married for 26 years and am grateful to be so. My wife and I have read various books about how to make your marriage better and we have grown together in our marriage. This book is in stark contrast to all others know to me. This book articulates how God uses marriage, the tool that He created, to sculpt you into what he wants you to be individually. "

" I have long loved exploring the connection between the gospel and marriage...Timothy does an excellent job. "

" Thought-provoking, challenging, and encouraging, this book is solid hope for a cynical world, forcing us to reconsider our preconceived notions of what marriage is. "

" This should be a required reading for every couple who WANTS to get married and for every couple already married. Truth, foundational to every couple's success in marriage is humble, servant, love. The opposite of what our tendencies are--self-centered, entitlement. "

" The best book about marriage I have read. Period. The Kellers can contribute uniquely in that most of their large congregation in NYC is single/non-traditional. Explaining Biblical concepts, thus, must be put in terms that a post-modern, educated generation can understand. "

" This is the book Pastor Squires uses for pre-marriage counseling. He can provide a study guide to use on your own or with your darling spouse. "

" This book on marriage is one of the best, most honest, contemporary book from a Christian point of view. Keller continually drives home the truths that transcend even many Christians view of marriage, sex, and singleness, and could inspire all to a better view of marriage. "

" The best, most intelligent, and most comprehensive Christian view on marriage. I finished it just before getting married. "

" This is my new favorite book on marriage. Highly recommended for all adults, from single to newly married to not so newly married. "

" This book is more helpful if you're single, but overall, I'm glad I read it with my small group. "

" This is the best book on marriage I have ever read. And I have read a few. Tim Keller does it again. "

" i do not read a lot of non-fiction, but this was a great book about getting your marriage, strong, keeping it there but also had relevance if you are not in a relationship yet either about how to communicate and looking for a potential mate. Great stuff. "

" The best book I've ever read on marriage. I'd recommend to anyone, married or not. "

" When Tim Keller speaks I listen. This book was adopted from a sermon series. Neither is writing or speaking contains bells and whistles but the content is superb. "

" I did not find this as riveting as I expected, but I've come away from it with good thoughts about marriage and the church that I keep mulling over and bringing up in conversation. "

" Over all I thought this book had some great insight and advice. I did get really bored in many parts and had to force myself to keep reading. I think this is more because the author has a much different personality than me and it translate into the writing style. "

" Must read for married people!! "

" An excellent read whether you are married or not. You will learn and understand and make sense of the reason marriage exists from Gods view. A new understanding of your own stage of life will emerge. "

" A must read for everyone! "

" So so so good. Reading the parts about singleness as a married person was extremely convicting and paradigm shifting. Tim Keller has an inspiring and Biblical vision for marriage and I'm so glad he wrote it down in this book so that I could know it! "

" I have read many, many books on marriage...this is by far the best. "

" Great work on the theology and importance of marriage "
