In previous books respected New York pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller has looked at such diverse and topical subjects as the existence of God, our need to do justice, the meaning of Jesus' life, and the human temptation to make idols - all through the twin lenses of a biblical framework and an engagement with contemporary culture.

In this new book, co-authored with his wife, Kathy, he turns his attention to that most complex of matters: our need for love, and its expression in marriage.

Beginning with the biblical narrative, and its pictures of marriage that span the original ideal to the broken to the redemptive, he looks at themes of friendship and commitment; the completion of men and women in each other; singleness, sex and divorce; and ministry and discipleship within the context of marriage.

This is a profound and engaging work that will challenge and inspire people in all stages of life - single, newlywed and married.

Learn when to say yes and when to say no--to your spouse and to others--to make the most of your marriage

Only when a husband and wife know and respect each other's needs, choices, and freedom can they give themselves freely and lovingly to one another.

Boundaries are the "property lines" that define and protect husbands and wives as individuals. Once they are in place, a good marriage can become better, and a less-than-satisfying one can even be saved.;Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the award-winning best-seller Boundaries, show couples how to apply the 10 laws of boundaries that can make a real difference in relationships.

They help husbands and wives understand the friction points or serious hurts and betrayals in their marriage--and move beyond them to the mutual care, respect, affirmation, and intimacy they both long for.

Boundaries in Marriage helps couples:

• Set and maintain personal boundaries and respect those of their spouse
• Establish values that form a godly structure and architecture for their marriage
• Protect their marriage from different kinds of "intruders"
• Work with a spouse who understands and values boundaries--or work with one who doesn't

When Marriage Meets Reality unpacks harmful beliefs about marriage, inviting you to release unrealistic expectations and fall in love with the marriage you have.

Have you found yourself asking “What is the missing link between what I thought marriage would be like and what it actually is? Are you trying to do the “Christian marriage” and it’s not working? You’re not alone. Marriage is beautiful, but inevitably hard. It is the coming together of two broken people, to create an imperfect harmony.

When Marriage Meets Reality, written by Dr. Tammy Smith, serves as a toolkit to help you fall back in love with your marriage. Contrary to what you might believe, the road to a better marriage is not found in turning your spouse’s heart toward your own hopes, dreams, and desires. Rather, the road to a better marriage is about turning your heart more toward Jesus. This journey will be a path of beauty from ashes, maturity through suffering, perseverance through trials, and life from death. Thankfully, at every turn, Christ equips couples with his power and perspective as a means of displaying his glory.

In When Marriage Meets Reality, Tammy diverts us from the trap of trying to change our spouses and challenges us to instead examine and discard our own assumptions and unhealthy expectations. She reminds us to fight from Christ’s victory as we engage in the spiritual battle by choosing to see a bigger picture, reject lies, and speak God’s truth. Filled with practical tools and a study guide for how to better express the power and love of Jesus, this book is written to equip you and serve as a forever resource for a healthy, thriving marriage!

Dr. Tammy Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Ohio and Texas, a National Certified Counselor, and holds a Ph.D. in Psychology.

Revised and updated with additional up-to-date information, this informative and complete guide is the definitive intimacy resource for married Christian couples.

Dr. Douglas Rosenau is a licensed psychologist, and a Christian sex therapist who has for the past seventeen years used his training in theology and counseling to help Christian couples enrich and reclaim God's wonderful gift of sexuality within marriage.
