I thought it was going to be five stars - I think this should be required reading for every 20 year old. But the last 3 chapters weren't very good. I would still highly recommend it to everyone - single, married, great marriage or troubled marriage you will gain great bible insight on marriage.

Such a great book!!! I would recommend this for anyone who is married, engaged, thinking about marriage, dating, single and looking, single and not looking. Basically, I would recommend this to anyone with eyeballs.
This book had a lot of good research, helpful tips, thoughtful reminders, biblical based recommendations... I will definitely keep it on hand for re-reads and future reference.
This book discusses how to have a happy marriage in conjunction with Christian beliefs. It has some good chapters for singles too. My husband read it and now he's the nicest he's ever been to me, so I recommend it!
This is a brilliant book on marriage full of wisdom from the life and ministry of Timothy and Kathy Keller. Although it has much to say to already married Christians, I truly believe that this is a book that every Christian should read, whether they desire to marry or not. As Timothy Keller says in the book "... single people cannot live their lives well as singles without a balanced, informed view of marriage" (pp.219-220)
I got this book as a gift and I liked it, but I had some serious issues with the stereotyping going on in the book. It seemed as if every few pages, the author was saying that non-Christians are sex crazed and only care about money. I feel like loving others shouldn't be an 'us versus them' thing... However, I'm definitely too biased because my husband and I lived together before we were married and don't go to church much because of some bad experiences.
However, this would be a good book to accompany a Bible study, as it will provoke discussion and debate.

This is quite simply one of the most profound, practical, challenging Christian books I've ever read. It changed my thinking radically, and gives a powerful way of thinking about marriage, the importance of all these things that God tells us to do and not do related to it, and why they all make sense when considered together from the right perspective. It relates marriage to how God is shaping us into more mature and complete adults, and into better reflections of Jesus. I was very impressed and edified.
