Intimacy and Finality
- Intimacy requires accepting finalities in others, including God.
- Accepting God's non-negotiables is key for a genuine relationship with Him.
Marriage Analogy
- Keller uses marriage as an example of accepting finalities.
- He contrasts this with the fictional robotic wives of Stepford, lacking genuine relationships.
