Just finished Tim Keller’s “Meaning of Marriage” & have mixed feelings about it.
It was definitely an affirming point of view of marriage in a world where the value of marriage seems to be on the decline; however, feels like it was written for this emerging generation who do not have a firm foundation. This is a good thing. This is a needed thing.
Those that have been married for “a while” may find that the book doesn’t do a lot of digging into the beauty of what a marriage can be or the issues it may face after the first ten years. Maybe that’s a subject for another book. :-)
Definitely worth the read.
“But when the Bible speaks of love, it measures it primarily not by how much you want to receive but by how much you are willing to give of yourself to someone. How much are you willing to lose for the sake of this person? How much of your freedom are you willing to forsake? How much of your precious time, emotion, and resources are you willing to invest in this person?”
