Christ Marriage

Your most important earthly connection is with your spouse, and when you honor the person you married, you’re also honoring God. He created marriage to be one of life’s greatest gifts, and the instruction manual you need for a joyful, lasting union is found in his word. In Your Marriage God’s Way, author and pastor, Scott LaPierre, takes a close look at the principles for building a biblical marriage - one in which your relationship with Christ brings guidance and blessing into your relationship with your spouse.

Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect.

In this devotional study, we will go straight to the source by diving into the Bible to learn from the very One who created marriage and all of its intended purposes. By doing so you will be able to silence the conflicting thoughts of others and listen to the voice that matters the most: the Lord’s.

We all long for the perfect marriage. Implicit trust, unspoken understanding, deep talks, fits of laughter, passionate intimacy, shared commonalities, and spontaneous adventures are just some of the joys of marriage. It begins with learning about who you both are in Christ, about His specific and complete love for you individually, and putting in action the particular scriptures designed to keep you and your spouse on track to the marriage of your dreams.

Marriage was created to paint the most beautiful picture. It's a picture of redeeming love. It's a picture of amazing grace. It's the picture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote that "this mystery is profound". The union between a man and wife refers to Christ and the Church.

Spiritual Growth is a call to go back to the basics of the Christian faith.

It shows how your conforming to the image of Christ can positively impact your life and marriage relationship.

There are so many things you need to talk about, negotiate, and come to terms with as a couple that it feels like no matter how much work you do, so much remains unsaid.
