I was happy to get my advanced reader’s copy of Real Marriage by Mark and Grace Driscoll. I only have a little bit of knowledge of what they’ve been doing at MarsHill Church in Seattle, so I really didn’t know what they were going to say.
I appreciate the “principles-not-method” approach they consistently remind the reader of. I appreciate the candid-ness of their story. I appreciate their reliance on the word of God. Here’s a bit about my experience reading the book…
The video trailer for the book is here…
Do I recommend the book? I’ve seen a lot of critics say it’s a return to the 1950′s marriage. Dude, it’s a return to 3050′s BC marriage. I’m reminded of an Emerson quote “All my best ideas were stolen by the ancients.” It’s certainly true for marriage.

I have been wanting to read this one. After your thumbs up for it I have added it as the next title on my lengthy list of books to read. Thanks for sharing your opinions.
