Christian Marriage: A Comprehensive Introduction
Why should we care about marriage?
There is a lot of confusion about the purpose of marriage outside the church as well as within it. Written by a distinguished Christian sociologist, Christian Marriage is a theologically rich, biblically robust, and sociologically informed treatise on the nature and value of marriage. Drawing on recent social science research, empirical data, and social history, Ayers paints a picture of marriage as an institution meant for human flourishing.
Along the way, Ayers addresses such topics Though the book is academically and theologically informed, it is written with a pastoral heart. It seeks to provide a rich resource for pastors and counselors on a topic of supreme importance to a vibrant church and society.

This has to be one of the best books on marriage written from a conservative Biblical standpoint. I appreciated Dr. Ayers’s sociological insights. I loved this book.
