Synopses & Reviews
Do you have the marriage you want? What about the marriage God wants you to have? Marriage is meant to be the most intimate of human relationships, but for many couples this intimacy is only a dream.
The Marriage You've Always Wanted Bible Study will help you make that dream a reality. So much more than a personal and group study,
The Marriage You've Always Wanted Bible Study will teach you to share your life more fully with God, and as your relationship with God grows and deepens, so will your relationship as a couple.
Learn how to share yourself more fully with your spouse in:
• How to understand and be understood.
• How to express love.
• How to handle anger.
• How to resolve conflict.
As you spend personal time with God and share time with your spouse and perhaps a small group, you’ll discover the sense of closeness, of knowing and being known, of understanding and being understood . . . you’ll discover what marriage is all about.
