I read this for marriage counseling. Timothy Keller has a wonderful voice. He is very persuasive, but I think he mentions the size of his congregation too much. It almost seems like he's bragging, which would be out of place in a book that also mentions humility a lot. Whenever Kathy Keller wrote something, the writing became recognizably awful. I could agree with Timothy, but most of Kathy's sections were the ones I absolutely despised. I know where this book is coming from, but I just couldn't agree with a lot of it. I know that's because my perspective is not that of the Kellers. This was a fairly easy read, and, if nothing else, I will be able to argue with others more effectively now.

I really enjoyed this. Joel and I read it together, and we seemed to treat each other with more kindness as we listened to the audiobook. The narrator is very firm in what the Bible says about marriage, but he is also very encouraging in the face of difficulties

A masterclass in marriage, it covers so many points with class and sound theology. I have loved my time in this book and so has my wife！5/5
Although I disagree with Keller's theological presumptions (primarily, that Keller is the actor to make sense of the Bible and that the BIble is not self-interpreting, which Keller either never acknowledges or has no consciousness of), he does provide a compelling commentary on contemporary marriage views, its faults, and a (for him) Biblical alternative. I disagree with many of his conclusions because I disagree with his exegetical work, but I do admire the attention he gives to an institution more assumed to be good in Christianity than explicitly worked out as such. If we are to defend it, we should put some heady work behind such claims!
