Neither a comprehensive marriage manual, nor a complete exploration of the theological significance of marriage, Friends and Lovers focuses on two key ingredients in a vital marriage: friendship and sexual intimacy. Drawing from the wisdom of the Bible, especially the Book of Proverbs, Joel Beeke shows you how to grow closer to your spouse both emotionally and physically.

The first section of Friends and Lovers focuses on the need for friendship between the partners in a marriage, then it offers suggestions for how to cultivate that relationship. The second — and far larger — section targets sexual intimacy in a tasteful and helpful manner.
I’d describe Friends and Lovers as a mix of encouragement and small suggestions to married couples. Due to its small size (93 pages), this book is tailored more to suggestions than comprehensive theology but that is also part of its appeal. Don’t pick this title up for a theology of marriage; pick it up to help your marriage.
My only complaint with this book is the short format. Cruciform Press focuses on short, accessible books, which is a great blessing to busy people who want good material that can be read quickly. That format however, means that an author must necessarily skip much that could be said on the topic. Here, Beeke does a fantastic job in encouraging married couples to pursue companionship and intimacy, even though he can’t cover everything. ( )
