The Meaning of Marriage
by Kathy Keller, Timothy Keller
What this book is about
The Meaning of Marriage presents a Christian understanding of commitment, friendship, service, sexuality, and spiritual growth within marriage. Timothy and Kathy Keller combine theological reflection with observations about the daily work of sustaining a long-term partnership. The book emphasizes that marriage can involve both deep affection and deliberate practices that continue when feelings fluctuate. It is most appropriate for readers who want an explicitly faith-centered framework and may be less relevant for those seeking a secular or interfaith approach.
