Love is long suffering, and is kind; love has no envy, love is not boastful, love does not behave itself inappropriately, seeks not its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil, rejoices not in injustice, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes everything, endures everything". 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
These beautiful words hold us to a high standard. That is why it has been said that before marriage one ought to open our eyes wide, but afterwards keep them half closed. In order to hold up this standard, so necessary for a marriage to work, we need to choose wisely. There are few things that have a more devastating impact on the people one loves than a marriage gone bad—devastating not just for oneself and one's spouse, but one's parents, one's children, and often one's friendships," Although divorce rates are down for the first time in years, there is still a 40 to 50 percent chance that any new marriage in the U.S. will end in divorce. Our eight week Biblically-based curriculum is designed to do all that we can as a church to ensure that you are properly prepared for your covenant of marriage so that your love will be unconditional and other focused as you both seek to grow together as one as you grow closer to our Lord |
