Resource summary
Timothy Keller Chapter 1 "The Secret of Marriage"
The surprising goodness of marriage
Cohabitation will probably lead to divorce
Married men earn 10-40% more than similar single men
over 60% of couples say they are "very happy" in marriage
and two thirds of unhappy marriages will become happy after 5 years
The history of marriage
In biblical times it was faithful companionship
The Enlightenment meant that marriage was redefined, so it was for emotional and sexual fulfilment
marriage used to be about 'us', now it's about 'me'
The irony of pessimistic idealism
Generally, men look for a combination between soul mate/babe
This leads to deep pessimism and they will never find a partner because no one is perfect
The Me Marriage approach means no one is satisfied because no one is perfect
The great secret
The bible says there is no flaw in marriage itself. It is broken because of sin
Husbands should do for their wives what Jesus did for us (vice versa). He gave himself up for us
Paul says: do for your spouse what God did for you and the rest will follow
No false choices
How do you make marriage work? You need to know the secret and the Gospel
We are more flawed than we dared believe - only God can help us
The Gospel can fill our hearts with God's love so if our spouse fails we can cope
