I loved this book. It is a delightful, joyful meditation on the amazing experience of marriage. Love is joyful and transformational, and we lose track of that in the general culture. Out in the world, marriage is an institution that supports society, but in our hearts and lives, marriage is a miracle.

I officiated a friend's wedding. Concerned about the responsibility I had taken on, I talked to my preacher father, who said, what can go wrong, it's a wedding! We used Redeeming Marriage as the basis for our pre wedding discussions, and for structuring the service. it also provided inspiration for my blessing at the service. Thank you, Uncle Ted, for celebrating marriage with this book.

The book our pastor recommended to us as we prepared for our wedding. It was written by a friend of his, and he let us know a bit of trivia about the cover photo: the building in the the distance is the Watergate hotel...

Written from the Episcopal churches ceremony. It was not what I expected and the writing was not great at points however this was very thought provoking and I will read it again I'm sure.
