GROWING MARRIAGE GOD’S WAY

WHEN THE WEDDING IS OVER...

...WELCOME TO

MARRIAGE

…ARE you single and wondering what to look for in a marriage partner? 

…ARE you dating someone and curious to know if they are “the one”? 

…ARE you newly married and already doubting that your marriage will survive? 

…ARE you looking for the “Owner’s Manual” in your marriage, desperately searching for the proper way to operate “this thing?” 

…IS your marriage suffering from raising children or empty-nesting? 

…ARE you happily married and just want to hear more of what you already know about marriage?        

 

If you answered, “Yes” to any of these questions, then come join us for an informal and enjoyable seminar on marriage.  Everyone is welcome. 

WHEN the daily grind of work, meetings, deadlines, kids, and fatigue causes our marriage to slump into ordinariness, we can become frustrated and disillusioned.  In order to help alleviate that frustration and grow godly unions, Gospel of Grace Church is hosting a marriage seminar led by its pastor, Zech Schiebout.  This seminar is a six-week exploration of God’s design for marriage geared towards healing broken marriages, rejuvenating dull marriages, and further edifying good marriages.

Session 1: THE PROMISE OF MARRIAGE

Many couples view commitment as a necessary evil or a mere formality easily discarded after the wedding.  Find out that marital commitment is a benefit, without which the feelings of oneness, comfort, security, and joy cannot grow.  

Session 2: THE SELF-SACRIFICE OF MARRIAGE

Self-centeredness ruins friendships, but even more so, it ruins marriages.  Come learn about the joy of self-sacrifice.

Session 3: THE GOALS OF MARRIAGE

Just as business and friendship relationships have goals (i.e. profit, camaraderie), so does marriage.  In this session we will discuss those goals and suggest ways of achieving them.       

Session 4: THE PRIORITY OF MARRIAGE

Where does marriage fit on your "To Do" list?  Is it on the list?  Our marriages often suffer from distractions which compete for our undivided attention, some of which are brand new to our culture and others which are as old as marriage itself.  We will explore those distractions and discern ways to remove them or grow our marriages in the midst of them.       

Session 5: THE COMPANIONSHIP OF MARRIAGE

Is my spouse supposed to replace my friends, become one of my friends, or be considered something totally different than my friends?  Can husbands and wives have a guys or ladies "night out" without ruining the marriage relationship?         

Session 6: THE  MYSTERY OF MARRIAGE

What is marriage all about?  Is it deeper than two people co-existing in a bond of promised permanence?  Is there a relationship which can help us better understand and enjoy marriage?
