The Good Christian Marriage Guide
As a good Christian, it is easy to assume that your marriage is impervious to the usual turbulence that leads other couples to divorce. If you follow God’s wisdom in your daily life, you may believe that infidelity and fights over the house, car, and dog are only experienced by others. However, even a good Christian marriage does not last a lifetime without hard work. It is also possible for good Christians who attend church and promise “until death do us part” to see their bond fall apart.
To maintain a strong marriage, good Christians can apply biblical principles and God’s wisdom to their relationship, giving them a stronger foundation that can last a lifetime.
For this purpose, the team at Blinkist has created a list of books that you can learn from about the topic of marriage from a Christian viewpoint. These book titles will help you explore themes such as love, connection, and your relationship with God within your marriage.
The Blinkist app gathers the key insights from thousands of nonfiction bestsellers into 15-minute text and audio explainer packs. Each one is crafted by a team of experts using science-based techniques to teach complex ideas in a way everyone can understand.

Reading these books together and debriefing afterward could make a great bonding activity with your partner and help you fix your relationship. Let’s get started.
The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God by Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller
The Meaning of Marriage
- 22 min reading time
- audio version available
Pastor Timothy Keller serves at the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. He graduated from Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary before moving north with his wife, Kathy Keller, and their three children.
Despite skyrocketing divorce rates and growing skepticism that there is one true love, the couple’s novel The Meaning of Marriage rests assured. The devout Christian husband and wife ask what’s currently going wrong. Why are so many couples hesitant to take their vows and so many others ending their marriages?
According to the authors, we have forgotten the true meaning of matrimony, which is to learn to love anew each day, a lesson at the core of the Bible’s teachings.
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.”
