Prior to vacation, I spent several days outlining a class I’m going to be teaching this fall called, Sacred Marriage. This class will be meeting on Wednesday nights starting September 29th.
We’ll have more information coming out soon, but in the meantime, here’s a writeup I put together for our fall magazine to share this new opportunity.
The day we say “I do” is one of the most extraordinary moments of our lives. It is a day that is marked by hope, filled with joy, and defined by the great promises that we share with our spouse.
Yet, what many of us realize over the course of time, is that having a sacred marriage is much more difficult than planning an inspiring and beautiful wedding. Marriage is sometimes a difficult road, with twists and turns we often do not expect, and hurts and setbacks that can leave us discouraged, disheartened, and in some cases determined to walk away.
If you have ever found yourself discouraged in your marriage relationship, the Bible offers great words of encouragement.
Sacred Marriage is a six week learning experience designed to help us see the purpose behind God’s holy design of marriage. While this class will not make the issues in your marriage disappear, it will help you to see yourself, your spouse, and your marriage in a whole new way.
God designed marriage to be a blessing to you, to your spouse, and the entire world.
The hope of Sacred Marriage is that we would begin to embrace that dream.
Here’s the outline for the six weeks.
Sept. 29th : God’s Holy Design pt. I
October 6th : God’s Holy Design pt. II
October 13th : Being all that WE can be
October 20th : How Grace Grows
October 27th : The Key to Life Long Love
November 3rd : Living our Story Together
