Home >> Bible Studies >> Christian Based Marriage
This is a 5 lesson Christian based marriage counseling course for couples. It

can be used by the couple themselves to study together or by a counselor
guiding the couple to the Biblical truths regarding relationships, courtship,
dating, and marriage. Rather than a lecture where the teacher or counselor
tells all of his opinions about marriage, the goal of this study is to lead the
couple themselves to discover the Biblical truth and important principles on
marriage. Thus it is an interactive study where all are encouraged to
participate and carefully study the Word to understand what God is telling us.
Both sides should come to the Word with an open heart and freely share
their own thoughts, questions, or doubts. By so doing you can get to know
each other better as well as the Lord.
