Your MarriageMastering

Perhaps the most rewarding and yet most frustrating relationship in our lives is the one with our spouse. No other relationship holds such promise for good or potential for pain. Even having a Christian marriage does not immunize us from the problems and pressures of the world. We struggle with the same issues that others do: communication, time management, money, sex, etc.

Mastering Your Marriage provides engaged and married couples with best practices and comprehensive tools to develop strong and divorce-proof marriages. This class is designed to be fun, as we look for ways to better understand ourselves, our partner, and our current or future marriage.

Because it is our desire to make Mastering Your Marriage as meaningful as possible, the following requirements will help maximize your experience. Each couple will be asked to:

• Attend at least seven of the eight classes in order to graduate.

• Complete short homework assignments each week along with supplemental reading.

• Commit to one TV free evening each week during the duration of the class.

Sessions Living by the Book | This first class will set the tone for the entire series by understanding God’s design for our marriages.

Buttons, Hooks and Triggers | In this session we will focus on how insight into our past can be used to grow and enhance our marriage today.

Understanding & Appreciating Our Differences | Understanding and appreciating our differences willhelp them work to our advantage.

He Said / She Said | We will spend two full weeks examining and practicing communication basics.

Ouch, That Hurt! | We will spend two weeks looking at the conflicts in our marriages and strive to make those hurts a place of healing.

Moving On | Finding ways as a couple to keep growing and learning beyond Mastering Your Marriage. Your relationship should be a shared adventure that gets better with each year.
