The Marriage Course Leader''s Guide Revised and Updated
Today we are facing a global crisis when it comes to families. Marriages are under more pressure than ever. Many children are growing up without experiencing the security of their parents'' love and commitment to each other-and consequently are finding it harder to receive God''s unconditional love. There is an urgent need to invest in marriage and family life, for strong societies are built on strong families, and strong families are built on strong marriages.
The Marriage Course, developed by Nicky and Sila Lee of Alpha, has been revised and updated to provide practical tools to help couples at every stage of their relationship. This update includes talks from experts including Dr. Gray Chapman, Dr. Henry Cloud, and Dr. Sue Johnson on topics such as money, sex, love languages, healthy boundaries, and building connections. The course will also cover how couples can:
- Better understand each other''s needs
- Communicate more effectively
- Grow closer by learning methods to resolve conflicts
- Recover from the way they may have hurt each other
- Recognize how their upbringing has affected their relationship
- Improve relationships with parents and in-laws
The Marriage Course is based on a Christian understanding of love and serves to strengthen marriages within the church while being accessible for all couples from any cultural background, with or without a background in the Christian faith. This leader''s guide is included with The Alpha Marriage Course and is also sold separately.
