AS CHRIST LOVES THE CHURCH - The One and Only Example for Marriage
Let's begin this 5-week study toward an extraordinary marriage which includes a Men's Study and counseling techniques!
Week 1 - Learn who you both truly are in God's eyes where the past is dead and gone through the Cross and you both are thriving and living abundantly as His royal heirs on mission with purpose and joy!
Weeks 2-3 - Fill up on God's specific love meeting all your needs first as both spouses are flawed but in Him we are filled and complete! Loving and enjoying each other from His overflow.
Weeks 4-5 - You both will truly come alive maybe even for the first time in Him through the specific roles God designed for an extraordinary marriage. This is beyond leadership and submission to more cherishing and treasuring as He truly loves us.
It is God's will for you to have an extraordinary marriage. God joined you and your spouse together to not only enjoy each other and live abundantly in all areas but to collectively live a higher purpose representing the eternal union between Christ and His Bride, the Church. You and your spouse are not only living in the true identity of royal heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ but are married ambassadors on display to a world in need of a Savior. This perspective can radically change your marriage and how you view each other. God made marriage fulfilling beyond what the world offers as we follow the One and Only example of his Son and His passionate and sacrificial love for us. A new and rich relationship with deep love, thrilling adventure, and exceeding joy awaits every Christian marriage. It begins with learning about who you both are in Christ, about His specific and complete love for you individually, and putting in action the particular scriptures designed to keep you and your spouse on track to the marriage of your dreams. As we all live busy lives, this timeless and modern book on marriage is geared toward Christian women with a doable 30-minutes-a-week men's study to be read at home or on the go. It encompasses a book, bible study, workbook, personal experiences, and exercises with marriage counseling-like techniques. Even if you are single, dating, or married, seeing how Christ loves His Church will set the stage toward a healthy and vibrant marriage that is out of this world!
Discover your true identity and royal position in Christ and build hope for a marriage that is out of this world! We all long for the perfect marriage. Implicit trust, unspoken understanding, deep talks, fits of laughter, passionate intimacy, shared commonalities, and spontaneous adventures are just some of the joys of marriage. Attaining this marriage on this side of heaven can be challenging, and there will inevitably be disappointments, arguments, letdowns, and mistakes to continuously address and resolve. But take heart! Following the example of Christ's love for the Church will produce an extraordinary marriage!
