Not your traditional book on marriage
by Kara Bussabarger
August 30, 2012
Caution: This is not a traditional book on marriage.
Actually it is a pioneering look at marriage which contemplates and reflects on the prominence marriage seems to receive by many Christians and churches today.
The book is written by Claire and Eli (their pseudonyms) because they said they wanted to preserve the mystery of their own story as well as not wanting the story to be about them.
The book is half a love story of Claire and Eli and their relationship, and the other half is a biblical look at marriage and singleness. Their main point seems to stress that true love is not only found in marriage, but it should be found in all relationships. We should not limit our stress of love in just marriage relationships.
Claire and Eli say our society should not be so marriage-centered but rather loved-centered. I appreciate that concept, and as a married woman, it made me reflect about the single people in my life. I also valued their inclusion of Scripture and Christian tradition by quotes by John Wesley, Oswald Chambers, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Augustine, and more.
