Every engaged couple hopes to build a strong and satisfying marriage, but it doesn&;t happen automatically. This interactive, nine-session premarital study guides couples through key issues like conflict, expectations, finances, and intimacy, showing how each can be navigated only with Christ at the center of the marriage. Realistic and hopeful, Tying the Knot will position a new generation of newlyweds to build their marriage on the lasting foundation of God&;s grace. Includes an appendix for mentors and corresponding questions and exercises for each chapter.
Advised by both tellers of fairy tales and harbingers of doom, many engaged couples simply don&;t know what to expect from marriage, so they focus their anxious energies on the wedding day. Rob Green, a pastor, counselor, and veteran of many premarital counseling sessions, shares that the joy, fun, companionship, and love couples hope for before marriage are not only possible, they are actually God&;s plan for marriage. But none of these wonderful things happen automatically when you tie the knot. A strong and satisfying marriage must be intentionally built on Jesus.
Tying the Knot offers soon-to-be-married couples a practical vision of Christ-centered marriage that is realistic, hopeful, and actionable. This nine-session study guides couples through issues like conflict, expectations, communication, finances, and intimacy, showing how each can be successfully resolved with Christ at the center of the marriage.
Knowing the stresses and needs of a couple in their season of engagement, Green has helpfully designed the study to require a manageable (and healthy) 60 minutes of at-home work per session, with questions and exercises to build communication and intimacy at the end of each chapter. Tying the Knot also includes an appendix for mentors, making it easy for a married couple, lay leader, or counselor to lead an engaged couple through the book.
Field-tested and recommended by multiple counselors in a thriving counseling practice, Tying the Knot has already guided many couples into a stronger and more joyful union. Let this nine-week premarriage study reorient your life and marriage around Christ, so you both will experience all the blessings of marriage as God designed it.
