About this ebook

Este libro se basa en la reconocida serie de sermones de Timothy Keller, autor de títulos exitosos del New York Times. Revela a toda persona —cristianos, escépticos, solteros, matrimonios veteranos y quienes apenas están por comprometerse— la visión de lo que debe ser el matrimonio según la Biblia.
La cultura moderna preferiría que todos creyeran que cada uno tiene su alma gemela, que el romance es la parte más importante de un matrimonio exitoso, que el propósito de su cónyuge es ayudar a que usted alcance su potencial, que el matrimonio no vale para siempre sino que solo vale por hoy, y que volver a empezar después de un divorcio es la mejor solución a los problemas aparentemente insolucionables de un matrimonio. Sin embargo, esas suposiciones de la era actual están erradas. Timothy Keller, con la colaboración de Kathy, su esposa por 37 años, revela que el matrimonio es una relación tan magnífica como incomprendida y misteriosa. ¿Qué significa el matrimonio? ofrece instrucciones sobre cómo tener éxito en el matrimonio y constituye una lectura esencial para quien desea conocer a Dios y amar más profundamente en esta vida.

Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone—Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged—the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible.
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.
