Preparing for Marriage - Leaders Guide
Description
While not ignoring 'practical' aspects of marriage, Preparing for Marriage seeks to explain the gospel as the model for marriage. It also seeks to show that a relationship with God through faith in Christ is the very best basis on which to build a life.
It is structured in four parts, and can be run in a variety of settings: by pastors and lay people.

Excellant Resource
(Review written for 'Preparing for Marriage - Study Guide')
I have searched for quite a while for something this good. It really helps the couples to open up and talk about the things they sometimes take for granted. It opens up opportunites to share the gospel of grace with couples and Can be used for any couple no matter what background. ![]()
Basically excellent
(Review written for 'Preparing for Marriage - Study Guide')
This is a great course as in four sessions it manages to combine some good marriage preparation with a basic explanation of the gospel. Each session takes an aspect of the gospel in sequence and then applies it to marriage. Couples with whom I have used it have consistently said how much they enjoyed it and how valuable it has been. It does seek to move people along quite quickly in spiritual terms; my only regret is that the final chapter is based on John 3v36 rather than, say, John 3v16, because I think the word "wrath" is a hard one for people to get their minds around at what is, for many, quite an early stage in their journey to faith - whereas "perish" in 3v16 is easier for people to grasp without cultural hackles rising so quickly. ![]()
