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

The Meaning of Marriage offers a thoughtful Christian account of why marriage matters and how it can endure. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy Keller, connects biblical teaching with the real pressures couples face, addressing commitment, self-centeredness, love, friendship, singleness, sexuality, and the refining work of grace.

The book neither sentimentalizes marriage nor reduces it to a set of techniques. It presents marriage as a covenant shaped by Christ's love, where husband and wife learn to serve, forgive, speak truth, and help one another grow into the people God calls them to become.
