This book was also life changing for me. Reshaped everything I believed about romance and relationships. Definitely a book you have to chew on but it is SOO worth it.
What an excellent book on marriage. I completely agree with it. It handles tricky topics with grace and biblical depth. And is the best explanation of Christian marriage I know of. Thank you, Timothy and Kathy.

I loved this book! The sections by Kathy were especially interesting. If marriage ever seems hard or overwhelming this is the book to turn too.
This book claims to be a book on marriage for singles and married folks alike, and I think it mostly succeeds. I will say however that while it seems fairly applicable and helpful for single people who are seeking marriage in some way, I'm not convinced it would be as valuable to those who aren't. Regardless of one's positions on any particular issue discussed in the book, I think the faithfulness and generosity of spirit of the authors was clear throughout, which I appreciated. The prose itself made of an enjoyable reading experience, and there are lots of anecdotes and examples.
By far the best book on marriage I have come across. After reading many others books between paper writing and for my own relationship with my wife, I have come away with a try harder mentality. Also when complementarnism has been been mentioned in these books they spend more time showing that it’s biblical rather than how it applies so it ends up being simply wives submit to you husband with very little application . But Keller’s book explains the glorious view of the biblical marriage. Throughout his entire book he seamlessly weaves the gospel through how marriage is lived out. His explanation of complementarnism is one of the most refreshing I have ever read. He does not go farther than what scripture says but he says no less then what says. He defines that both a husband’s and a wife’s role is to serve the other. And what this will look like will very family to family. His argument is very similar to Lewis in when he says that headship is only to be used on there rare occasion when there both spouses disagree on the best course of action for their family. Then the husband has the deciding vote but he still needs to make the decision that he thinks best serves his family. I can not recommend this book enough
Very easy to follow and contained biblical references along with practical advice. Glad I got my hands on this book before getting married in May.
LOVED this book on a theology behind marriage- very well written and easy to read. Best marriage book I have ever read

I have never read a book on marriage (or sex or dating or sexuality) that has such an incredible Biblical wisdom. It felt like, every morning when I read a chapter of this book, I was in a small personal quiet time with the LORD, working through that morning's Scripture study. And I don't say that because I consider Tim Keller's words Scripture, but because so many of the words of this book *are* Scripture--or discussion thereof.
Also, this is probably the only Christian marriage book I've seen that I could recommend to everyone I know, not just Christians, and that I could recommend without a million disclaimers.
