The
Valley Married Couples Retreat is coming up on February 22-23. Each couple attending that event will receive a copy of
The Meaning of Marriage by Tim and Kathy Keller. As an introduction to the book, couples will be given the opportunity to read and discuss several key excerpts. My wife, Cheri, and I will also be leading a workshop on Saturday morning during which we will draw upon several themes from the book.
Book Description:
Timothy Keller with his wife of 36 years, delivers The Meaning of Marriage,
an extraordinarily insightful look at the keys to happiness in marriage
that will inspire Christians, skeptics, singles, long-time married
couples, and those about to be engaged.
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.
