Why do people get married? Most would probably answer that they have fallen in love and want to be with that person permanently. Others might mention their desire for security, partnership, sexual intimacy or children. The Intimate Marriage Series of Bible studies call us to consider the biblical goal of marriage. This guide is the companion for The Intimate Mystery by the same authors, and is the one to use to launch your marriage small groups. These studies will help you take small but real steps toward honoring the image of God in each other and become ever more intimate companions.
