The Meaning of Marriage
by Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller
Keller's theology of marriage: covenant over consumer relationship, the gospel as the power to love a flawed person, friendship as the core, and chapters on singleness, sex and gender roles. Thoughtful, scriptural and the most-read serious Christian marriage book of its generation.
