February Marriage Tip
Bob Lepine (co-host of Family Life Today radio program) recently laid out what it means to have a Godly-marriage. Bob says Christians are to display a different kind of love. He says, "A Christian spouse's love should be. . .
- Self-sacrificing, not self-serving
- Forgiving, not half-hearted
- Spirit-controlled, not self-controlled
Sound challenging? It is! It will not happen overnight. . .It's developed as you read God's Word, pray, and pursue Him wholeheartedly."

Avoiding Close Calls in Marriage! This workshop, "Avoiding Close Calls in Marriage," will help you become more alert to a close call and it can strengthen your marriage.
We will identify 'dangerous partner profiles' and how the attraction can be immediate and passionate and is usually a person who is not good for you. This profile lurks in the subconscious and remains there as a powerful secret until a couple is willing to talk out the 'composite images' that reside in each of them. We'll also explore 'risky marriages' and if you may be in one, by exploring a marital satisfaction time line chart, that assists in updating your relationship needs and reviews your history.
Come prepared to grow in your relationship and avoid those close calls. Saturday, March 31, from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. at Baptist Hospital East in Louisville, KY. Sharon Shapanus, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, will be our guest speaker. Registration is requested, but not required. No cost for the workshop, however, donations are always appreciated. To register or for more information, call (502) 939-0121; email: pdhud9@aol.com or visit: www.kymrc.com

This is fully from John Starke at the Gospel Coalition Blog that you can find here: http://thegospelcoalition.org/book-reviews/interview/meaning_of_marriage
Marriage has lost its luster for many. It no longer carries the weight as being "soceity's ideal." But as Tim amd Kathy Keller write in their new book, The Meaning of Marriage, our society's break from a traditional understanding of marriage comes from hopes and desires that will never be met outside of God's design. The remedy, though, does not come from making a happy or successful marriage our ultimate hope. We need something more subversive.
I corresponded with Tim Keller about their new book and asked about a number of issues, including how the Enlightenment has affected the Western view of marriage and how sex and fun relate to companionship and a duty to spur our spouses toward holiness.
***************************************

Recent years have seen an explosion of male joblessness and a steep decline in men’s life prospects that have disrupted the “romantic market” in ways that narrow a marriage-minded woman’s options: increasingly, her choice is between deadbeats (whose numbers are rising) and playboys (whose power is growing). But this strange state of affairs also presents an opportunity: as the economy evolves, it’s time to embrace new ideas about romance and family—and to acknowledge the end of “traditional” marriage as society’s highest ideal.
