| GOSPEL MARRIAGE COURSE
You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
Song of Solomon 4:9-10
YES! - marriage is a gift from God. A garden of delights! But, of course, it is also hard work, not because the gift is flawed, but because we are. Thankfully, the gospel brings healing and help to us as an individual and as a couple - and it's to that source of power that we will look during this course on God's wisdom for marriage.
Our goal is to help newly married (<5yrs), engaged, or almost engaged couples better understand God’s purpose and plan for marriage and gain greater insight into their own relationship so that they can experience the joy of marriage that God intended. We will cover a number of key topics (see below) and have time for discussion and interviews with those in the church that are a few years down the road already.
So whether you are just looking at rings or have been married for a few years, we invite you to be equipped and encouraged as we explore God's wisdom for a joyful marriage together.
