In The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and bestselling author of The Reason for God, uses the scriptures as his guide to show readers what God's call to marriage is, and why this is such a powerful call.

Too religious
I couldn't get through the content because they made references to Bible verses every few lines. I'm not opposed to Bible verses, but not when it upsets the flow of the novel.

Too religious
The sheer volume of scripture and references to The Bible made me fantasize about inventing an app that could go through the book and delete all bible references. I imagine the book would be 1/3 the size after deleting scripture passages. It was judgmental and non-inclusive in some parts, even abit victim-blamey (as most fundamentally Christian-based things are) I can handle religious references but man was this book full on bible immersion school. The information on boundaries was good but if you’re not steeped in Christianity you’re probably better off buying another of the plethora of good boundary books out there.

bible verse every 20 seconds!
I made it halfway through the second chapter... and it really annoys me to hear about the bible every few seconds (or every minute max). its okay to talk about the bible or the influence of Catholicism once or twice in the book, but a thousand times really gets in the way. The book is about bible interpretation more than it is about boundaries. It says in the chapter 1 that the goal of the author is to show us the "biblical" boundaries. So be it, I wish the description would have said so and I would have stayed away.

A necessary lesson
This was a good book on why boundaries are essential to any success in life. I liked the specific examples and a description of a person with no boundaries vs one with well defined boundaries.
We all are like a city without walls waiting to be invaded when boundaries are missing.
Personally, I was a child in a verbally abusive home where drug abuse was also present. There were fights and screams for which I had zero context. The lack of clear boundaries had a profound impact on me. Only now, in my 30s am I coming to grips with the damage done and that I will need to work on myself a lot to experience better relationships. Setting boundaries is very diff but so vital!

Bible Thumper BIG TIME . . . OMG Revelation 13:1-1
This book suckers you in then shoves the bible down your throat in every second paragraph. Literally quotes the bible verse and paragraph over and over AND OVER. It's a bible study more than anything else. I want my $$ back. I simply could not force myself to read another paragraph of "Revelation 13:1-18" or Matthew 6:31–34 . Unless you're a religious freak this book is not for you.
Q. How do you get your money back on Audio books ? This title is a complete misnomer and should be transparent based on the constant bible quotes in every paragraph. It was kinda funny at first then it just disrupted the flow of the book. Too be honest it was WIERD lol

Wonderful but should probably mention religion or the Bible in title
This is a great book. All the information, examples, and strategies related to boundaries was wonderful! I wish I learned this earlier! It’s helped me so much already, and will continue to help me be more responsible and healthier in my relationships, work, home life, and health. Psychologically sound, with lots of insight and practical wisdom. I’m not religious and at first was a little turned off by all the biblical references, but they were presented very well and from a rational and helpful perspective. No shaming, blaming, guilt, or judgment. I enjoyed learning about the Bible from this positive perspective.

Learned a lot - don’t know what you don’t know
Very encouraging and convicting read. Definitely have to have an open mind. We don’t know what we don’t know. This helps address bad thinking and personal boundary setting for oneself and with others. Opened my eyes to areas in my life that I thought were normal issues that I would just live with. Now I know I can address them and improve. This book provides tangible, step by step ways to address boundaries and setting new ones.

LIFE CHANGING
I would recommend this book to all Christians and non-Christians alike. This book details concrete examples of boundaries and why they are so important. By the end it gives you the steps you will need to implement boundaries and live a healthy non-destructive lifestyle. This book will help you identify what might be holding you back. I never expected to feel so great about a book. I have since gifted this book to 5 people 😀

Legitimately changed my life
I read the first 7 chapters 6 years ago, and it radically changed the way that I did life. 7 years later I came back and listened to the whole thing, and had the same experience. This book gave me the courage to say no. And to know when to say yes. I have shared this book with more people than I can count. And whenever they follow through with reading it, I hear the same thing “This book changed my life.”

abuse victims be wary
I got a lot out of the beginning of the book, the educational portion that spoke of the different types of control and controlling people. Where I struggled was with the seemingly underlying tone throughout this book that the abuse victim has the ability to change the circumstances of abuse by creating good boundaries and that the abused is partially to blame for not having healthy boundaries.

Good book, but the reader...
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator seemed to run on. It felt like he did not give enough time between sentences and thoughts in the book. Like maybe he was rushing through it.
Any additional comments?
I do wish the book had a few more examples that are based on what the people actually did. There were a few but, I felt the book could use a few more to show the reader/ listener how and why the person came to the boundary. A little more explanation on understanding how to set appropriate boundaries too. I really enjoyed the biblical context showing that if you can parse it, The Bible is an instruction manual to life. I will definitely be listing to this book several more times!

Life changing
There was nothing in this book that I didn’t like. It has opened my eyes and giving me insight and understanding of why my life is such a mess. I’ve been incorporating boundaries in my life and it is amazing how much better my life is becoming. Still a work in progress but this gives me so much hope for a better life.

Okay, but not very practical and very Biblical
This book quotes the Bible like it’s empirical evidence. It’s my fault for not reading more about the book description. If you’re looking for practical guidelines and a more psychological-based approach as I was, I’d skip this book.
The audio version has a typical narrator, who I didn’t find very engaging.
The author has great stories, with very specific, relatable situations, but then he goes into a lecture, quoting Bible verses along the way as his “evidence” that his suggestion is the right one. He has some cool concepts, but overall I stopped listening after 2 hours because I want truly empirical studies and methods for this topic.

too much religion
the book has interesting views, but the continuous references to the bible make it a strenuous read
