Building Healthy Marriages
The meaning of Marriage
The Meaning of Marriage is a special 6 session small group opportunity to talk about what God's Word says is the secret, the power, the essence and the mission of marriage. We’ll hang out with some food, discuss the book in light of short 20-minute recap videos, and offer optional opportunities to delve deeper into building our marriages.
Small group sessions and individual sessions are being scheduled regularly. Contact us with questions, upcoming availability, childcare needs, and hosting opportunities.
Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; and that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. But these modern-day assumptions are wrong.
Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious. The Meaning of Marriage offers instruction on how to have a successful marriage, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.
