The Meaning of Marriage: A Couple's Devotional

$25.00

The daily companion to Timothy and Kathy Keller's book on marriage, broken into a year of short readings. It does a different job from the book: the book makes one long argument, while the devotional turns the same ideas into a shared habit a couple keeps over a year.

Who it suits

This suits a married couple who valued the original book, or never quite finished it, and would rather take the ideas in daily than in long sittings. Each entry is short enough to read together over coffee or before bed, with a passage and a question to discuss. For couples who like the idea of a shared practice but want something with more substance than a one-line-a-day book, it fits well.

The tradeoff is that a couple’s devotional only works if both people will actually sit down for it. It suits couples who already share some kind of routine more than those hoping a book will create one from nothing. Its framing is Protestant, so a couple in a Catholic or Orthodox tradition may want to read it as one voice among others rather than the last word.
