Some other interesting folk worth reading on the whole issue of the importance of marriage — and not just Christian marriage, but marriage as a common-grace gift of God to his image-bearers — are Leon & Amy Kass, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, Wendy Shalit, Allan Carlson, Beth Bailey, and Kay Hymowitz. Each has written either directly on marriage or on the topic of sexual restraint and/or modesty. You’ll find them to be historically informed and winsome.
Wendy Shalit is part of a group blog. There is an excellent post on the commodification of women today.
