Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.-- Ecclesiastes 12:12 (ESV)
.
"Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." Proverbs 4:6-7
Anti-intellectualism FTW, anonymous. If you take Ecclesiastes out of its context, you'd come to the conclusion that pretty much every pursuit ever is vain and pointless. Which is it's point-- that everything outside of God and growing closer to him will end up unsatisfactory. The desire to improve your marriage through reading can certainly be a godly one.
