Resources for your marriage
This week Pastor Stephen preached about biblically defined marriage. As promised, here are several resources to help you as you sort through these issues for yourself. Also, your elders are always glad to help you with questions you may have.
Finally, all these resources have come from this new page, which contains a boatload of resources for you.

piper just came out with another new book called this momentary marriage? I think that’s right? Anyway, here is the link to the online book. This Momentary Marriage… Haven’t read it yet, but it looks awesome.
Another one that has been helpful in our marriage is, Sex and the Supremacy of Christ edited by Piper and Justin Taylor. I think CJ Mahaney has a condensed form of this book entitled, “Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God.”
Feminist Mistake, by Mary A. Kassian was recommended by Dr. David Jones at SEBTS, but I have not personally read it.
I am currently reading Carolyn McCulley, “Radical Womanhood.” I think it is pretty good. She also has a blog http://solofemininity.blogs.com/posts/
I know your list was not exhaustived by any means. I just thought I’d pass along some more helpful books for such an important issue.
