This Momentary Marriage

February 8, 2010 by Melissa

Staying Married is Not About Staying in Love is the title of Chapter One in John Piper’s This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence. Very different from the world has to say on the subject of marriage, isn’t it? In fact, the entire book is very contrary to society’s take on the bonds of matrimony. To the world, they are bonds easily broken without a second thought. To which Piper responds, “Staying married, therefore, is not mainly about staying in love. It is about keeping covenant” (p. 25).

I found this book so informative that it’s a new 5 Star Read.

If you’d like to win one of THREE copies (U.S. residents) please read my full review of This Momentary Marriage over at 5 Minutes for Mom. The winners iwill be announced in next Monday’s book review column at 5 Minutes for Mom.

Melissa & her husband are nearing their 17th anniversary, but she still has much to learn about marriage. She resides in Virginia and blogs at Breath of Life.
