Another book along these lines, is the book The Meaning of Marriage by Tim Keller, which I also mentioned in my previous post. E sent me this link to a talk he gave at Google on the topic of the book, which covers the highlights I'd share. I've only just started the book, but I can highly recommend it to both married folks and singles. The talk below is incredibly relevant in a lot of ways even if you aren't religious, because it's so practical. I hope you'll give at least the first part a listen.
Recently, I've been thinking a bit more about marriage and what kind of work and commitment it takes. Two and a half years in and marriage hasn't gotten exponentially easier for me, though I thought it might. I think it's important to recognize that marriage is a living relationship to be nurtured and cared for and communicated about, and not something that happens naturally and on its own.

Along with other friends, I'm participating in #WEverb11, organized by Kim. I'm excited to reflect on this last year and look forward to what's ahead. We'd love to have you join us!
The 13th prompt is: Read. What article or book changed your outlook on an issue or life?
(Thanks, Melinda!)

Thank you for the book rec! I just purchased it and also bought a copy for a friend who is currently going through a rough patch in her marriage.
I heart Tim Keller — he's such a great preacher and pastor and I feel so lucky that he's based right here in NY (we actually attend a church that his church planted).
