10 of those

Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul–mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that marriage does not mean ‘til death do us part, but merely for as long as my needs are being met; and that when serious differences arise, divorce is the best solution.

According to the Bible, all of these modern–day assumptions miss what marriage is all about. In The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller, along with Kathy, his wife of forty years, draws a profound portrait of marriage from the pages of Scripture that neither idealizes nor rejects the institution but points us back to the relationship between God and man. The result is a vision for marriage that is refreshingly frank and unsentimental, yet hopeful and beautiful. This six–session Bible study (to be used alongside the Video Study Guide) is for anyone from singles, to couples considering marriage, to those who have been married recently or for a long time.

The six sessions are:

• The Secret of Marriage
• The Essence of Marriage
• The Mission of Marriage
• Embracing the Other
• Singleness and Marriage
• Sex and Marriage
