Great book on The Gospel & The Parable of it (marriage). I would say right now, outside of the Scriptures, it's my favorite book. The advice Piper gives about marriage has it's roots saturated deep in gospel soil. He paints the beautiful picture of how it was Christ's hands that were nailed to cross, even though they never touched sin. And you & your spouse's sin went to the cross with Christ, and so now, as believers, the call is to engage one another, not in reaction to each other's flaws & failures, but in response to the Substitutional Savior who gave Himself up for you. Great encouragement. He deals much more with the foundations of marriage than practical everyday examples. At the same time, He is very honest about the heights & depths of marriage, even his own. Not exactly sure yet where I stand on His complete prohibition of divorce & remarriage (except in the case of death) in chapter 14. Good things to ponder though. And I found the Bonhoeffer excerpts in the start of every chapter to be very rich & encouraging as well. Recommended read, for sure.

Would recommend this for any premarital counseling or seasoned married couple. This book is written to help teach you biblically what marriage is and should be like. It strips away, early on, your 'culture induced' misconceptions of what marriage should be and replaces them with what God says it was designed to be. Phenomenal book! I am reading it for the second time with my college study.

Love It!!!. Truths to rich to take in all at once. Highly recommended.

For Singles, Engaged, and Married. I decided to read This Momentary Marriage because I wanted to learn how to be a better husband. Pastor Piper, my favorite author, has been married for more than forty years and knows the challenges and joys of this sacred institution. What separates This Momentary Marriage from most books on marriage is that this is not an instructional manual that gives you ten tips on how to build a stronger marriage. This Momentary Marriage is a theological look at what marriage is all about - the covenant-keeping love of Christ. During the first half of the book I did feel that Piper repeated himself a few times, but I probably felt that way because I have had my nose in so many of his books lately. This Momentary Marriage hits on a number of topics such as leadership, submission, hospitality, romance, children, anger, divorce, remarriage and to my surprise, singleness. Piper covers singleness in chapters 9-10, and it really needs to be read by not just singles, but those who are married. We tend to exalt marriage in unChristlike ways and fail to see the even greater blessings that will come to all Christians when we pass from this world. Of course, as always, Piper has scattered Scripture throughout the book. Each chapter starts off with a quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Letters and Papers from Prison. This Momentary Marriage concludes with a few words of thanks, a Scripture index, person index, subject index and a note on Desiring God resources. If you are married, engaged, hope to be married or called to remain single, I highly recommend this book. It is definitely the best reading I have done on this topic.

Unbelievable. This book is unbelievably incredible. Piper fleshes out a true foundation for marriage that is not only glorifying to God, but also roots husbands and wives in joyful, grace-filled love. It is a must read for everyone. Married, single, divorced, remarried. Please read it!!
