All those modern-day assumptions are, in a word, wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the Bible as his guide, coupled with insightful commentary from  his wife of thirty-six years, Kathy, Timothy Keller shows that God  created marriage to bring us closer to him and to bring us more joy in  our lives.  It is a glorious relationship that is also the most  misunderstood and mysterious.  With a clear-eyed understanding of the  Bible, and meaningful instruction on how to have a successful marriage,  \u003ci\u003eThe Meaning of Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone who wants  to know God and love more deeply in this life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust as this book is based on his popular sermon  series, so will his Encounters with Jesus series, the first of which, \u003ci\u003eThe  Skeptical Student \u003c\/i\u003ecomes out in December.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120724787440,"sku":"9781101548042","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101548042_p0.jpg?v=1763688107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101548042","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
