This book is the story of a marriage, yet it is so much more than the story of a marriage. With honesty and humility, Katherine and her husband share the story of their marriage. This book is so much more than simply a memoir; their marriage story is interwoven with Scripture, history, celebrities, literature, and scholarship. The author tackles tough topics like death, sex, temptation, infidelity, egalitarian and complementarian marriages, economic and racial injustice, blessings, mercy, and the Apostle Paul. The author does this all while keeping you engaged (ha!) and wanting to read more about marriage and her marriage.
This book has forced me to confront my own feelings on marriage. Yes, I am married. Yes, my husband is amazing and I still love him 9 years after I said I do. Yet, at the same time, I’ve often disliked the institution of marriage. I love the covenant making-I dislike the state involvement-although I appreciate the tax break. This book has made me fall in love with the institution of marriage again. I hope you enjoy the story and I hope it inspires you to tell your story.
This book comes with a wonderful study guide (written by me), so you can read it with your book group or Sunday School class. So read the book and use the study guide.
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Good questions, now I want to read the book!
Maybe I should read this as I celebrate 50 years (12/23). with the best person I know. We have been through so much together through the years. I love Bob Lindsay more now than I did in 1966.
Elise,
You should read the book and answer the questions. You can do it by yourself or with a group! Enjoy!
Pat,
Congratulations (a little early) on 50 years! You and Bob could read the book together!
