description: 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 all of these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is all about. In The Meaning of Marriagea six-session video-based Bible studyTimothy Keller along with Kathy his wife of forty years draws a profound portrait of marriage from the pages of Scripture that neither idealizes nor rejects the institution but points us back to the relationship between God and man. The result is a vision for marriage that is refreshingly frank and unsentimental yet hopeful and beautiful.This six-session video Bible study is for anyone from singles to couples considering marriage to those who have been married recently or for a long time.The six sessions are:Service: Marriage Isn't about YouCovenant: Created to Make PromisesRoles: Loving through Mutual SubmissionSingleness: Strengthening the Spiritual FamilySex: The Act of Covenant RenewalHope: Seeing the Great Horizon
