God intends for marriage to be one of the most satisfying relationships you will ever experience. Like your relationship with Christ, your relationship with your spouse should be a source of joy, peace, life, and love. But the marriages of nearly half the couples who go to the altar end in divorce--and many of those who remain together find themselves in frustrating relationships full of pain and conflict. Maximizing Your Marriage is an interactive course for couples that helps you experience and enjoy all God wants for you. Ten weekly sessions explore God's design for a fulfilling marriage and provide you with plenty of practical tools based on solid biblical principles. The course concludes with an overnight retreat which offers couples the opportunity to renew their vows. Student workbooks prepare participants for each session, and include plenty of space for individual responses that serve as the catalyst for small group discussion and sharing. The leader's guide provides complete instructions, including overviews of each lesson, icebreaking games, and lists of all needed materials. Maximizing Your Marriage is an adventure that will bring refreshment and encouragement to any marriage. It's a great investment that is sure to get you headed in the right direction for a healthy relationship that reflects Jesus Christ. Sessions include: Mutual Submission To Christ; The Wonder of God's Oneness; Expectations vs. Godly Assignments; In Pursuit Of Understanding; The Reward Of Raising Children; A Promise To Be Kept; Stop--Talk--And Listen, Listen, Listen; Intimacy In Every Way; Fueling The Flames Of Your Marriage.
