Marriage Building 101 Many have been deceived by a common myth about marriage thinking, “if I marry the right person, I’ll live happily ever after,” only to wake up to a different reality. Some couples spend their lives building each other up, but unfortunately, some spend their lives tearing each other down. But God wants you to have the kind of marriage that makes other people jealous. You don’t just happen to find a great marriage. You build one. It’s a life-long process. Marriage is the most intimate relationship possible—two people choosing to be together for the rest of their lives. But in order to build a strong, lasting and fulfilling relationship, you need the right tools—skills most of us got married without. But as the old saying goes, “It’s never too late to learn.” Marriage Building 101 is for any age couple who has tied the knot or who is tied up in knots. This foundational teaching provides the tools you need from God’s Word to build a life together and to build a relationship worth remembering. This laugh-and-learn seminar includes these topics: • Growing Close—Staying
Close
Everyone marries under certain misconceptions, such as, “made for each other,” and “happily ever after,” only to wake up a few months or years later and realize that marriage is work! Great relationships happen because people do the things that help keep them connected to one another. With 100 ideas especially for husbands and 100 separate ideas especially for wives, this series gives spouses bite-sized ideas to help build lasting relationships. Topics included in this series are:
• 100 Ways To Love Your Wife Men must eventually learn that maturity does not come with age. When Adam fell in the Garden of Eden, sin entered in and twisted man's image of himself. His blinded mind caused him to focus on his own ego, and man became self-centered instead of God- and others-centered the way God had originally intended him to be. In every culture and civilization, men have fought to find their place. Because the rules and roles of society change so quickly, many men struggle with an identity crisis. Confusion about man's true purpose causes today's men to react with anger, isolation, denial, resistance and resentment—all of which can eventually destroy them. Thank God the history-changing invasion of Jesus Christ into the human race allowed man to rediscover his God-given purpose and to live a life far greater and more adventurous than he could ever imagine. In this series, you'll discover the three core purposes of man, as well as the three fundamental roles established for him by God in whose image man is made. As a man, you'll understand what it is that God has called you to become, and you'll learn the principles you need to know in order to take your rightful place in your home, your community and your world. The choice is yours. Let the adventure begin. This series includes these topics: • Lover—Not Buying,
But Being A Gift
The number one predictor of divorce is the habitual avoidance of conflict. And what is sad is that the reason we avoid conflict is because we believe it will lead to divorce. Successful couples are those who know how to discuss their differences in ways that actually strengthen their relationships and improve intimacy. They don’t let disagreements contaminate their marriages. When we marry we promise to stay together “till death us do part”—but we don’t promise to stay the same! We need skills to negotiate change along the way. The good news is that we can unlearn the behaviors that preceed divorce and destroy love—and replace them with behaviors that keep love alive. Marriage is a journey—not a destination. And God’s Word is the road map to a joyful, fulfilling, and purpose-filled life. We must learn not only how to avoid the pitfalls but how to enjoy the trip. Caution! Marriage In Progress, includes these life-changing messages: • Blessed Are The Problem
Solvers
“Do you love me?” Nearly every married person has asked their spouse this question at some time or another. And almost every spouse has answered with this statement: “Of course, I love you! How can you ask that?!” “But why do you love me?” That question usually brings a blank stare and an uncomfortable silence while you search for the perfect answer. Love is an incredible force. The Bible says, “God is love.” Unfortunately many believers grow up not fully understanding what love really is, and not receiving the incredible benefits that come from walking in love. Nearly every marriage problem finds its roots in selfishness—the opposite of love. Love is an action, not a feeling. It’s not the emotional goose bumps, or the butterfly flutters you get in the pit of your stomach when you’re around that special someone. Love is a choice—even in hard times. Emotions are great. God created them. In fact, He said in Proverbs 5 that husbands and wives should be ravished and intoxicated with each other’s love. Positive emotions are the by-products that come from action—action first, feelings second. The Word of God gives clear instruction about giving and receiving love. It even talks about how to rekindle feelings of love that have died. Our part is simple—but it’s not always easy. When we hear and do what God says, He supplies the goose bumps.
