Marriage is one of God’s most significant gifts, a covenant designed for a man and a woman to build a life together that reflects Jesus. Scripture teaches that marriage is more than companionship; it is a living picture of Christ’s relationship with His church. For this reason, couples preparing for marriage need a clear, biblical understanding of what God intends marriage to be.
This Christian marriage preparation manual helps couples explore the foundations of a godly marriage by answering essential questions such as:
What is God’s purpose for marriage?
How does Scripture define a healthy, biblical marriage?
What practical and spiritual conversations should a couple have before their wedding?
Designed for use in small groups or one-on-one settings, this resource includes six sessions that guide couples through both the theological and practical aspects of married life. From communication and unity to spiritual leadership and covenant commitment, each session helps couples build a strong, Christ-centred foundation for their future.
Preparing for marriage and the journey ahead.
