The Meaning of Marriage Study Guide

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, these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is about. In The Meaning of Marriage - a six-session video-based Bible study - Timothy and Kathy Keller draw a profound portrait of marriage from the pages of Scripture. The result is a vision for marriage that is frank and unsentimental, yet hopeful and beautiful. This study guide complements the six sessions on the DVD. The six sessions are: - Service: Marriage Isn't about You - Covenant: Created to Make Promises - Roles: Loving through Mutual Submission - Singleness: Strengthening the Spiritual Family - Sex: The Act of Covenant Renewal - Hope: Seeing the Great Horizon
