Introduction

Nobody gets married in hopes that they can have a boring and unfulfilling marriage. Yet, sadly, that’s where many couples find themselves. This session is the introduction to the course and lays the groundwork that we will be covering over the next 7 sessions. It also introduces you to some of the practices that we hope you and your spouse will jump into as you grow in your relationship with Jesus and each other. This course is built on the bedrock truths of the Bible and the most current research into marital fulfillment and happiness.
