Download or read book Preparing for an Awesome Marriage Student Workbook written by Kim Kimberling and published by Cord of Three Strands. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helping couples prepare for marriage is a passion that God laid on my heart many years ago. As Nancy and I approached marriage, we were given very little instruction about the road ahead. We married young and struggled a lot. I know the path could have been much easier if we had a course like this one and if we would have applied what we learned. Preparing for the Marriage of a Lifetime has been a work in progress since I first taught the material in 1996. The first course was eight sessions and I had no idea if it would be effective or not. God blessed the course. I was immediately able to see it make a difference in the lives of the couples that attended. At the end of that first class, I asked them for feedback on what was helpful and what was not. I have continued to seek feedback from each class. The course is in many ways a product of their feedback. It has made a difference for many and I hope it makes a difference for you.

Download or read book Living an Awesome Marriage written by Kim Kimberling and published by Cord of Three Strands. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting God at the center of your marriage is more than both of you being Christians and attending church together. It involves letting God help you function the way that He intended for you to function. Believe it or not, God created us to function in very specific ways. Each of us has very specific needs. God not only created us with specific needs, but also, He has a plan for how those needs are to be met. There are needs that God intends to meet, and there are needs that He intends for your spouse to meet. If God is not at the center of your marriage, then, "meeting all these needs" becomes distorted, confused, and frustrated. Marriage is a process. It has ups and downs and sometimes the downs are devastating. Put your marriage in God's hands - no matter where you are today. If you are in the pit, give your marriage to Him. If you are on a pinnacle, give your marriage to Him. If you are somewhere in between, give your marriage to Him. Remember, there is no task that is impossible with God. Put Him at the center of your marriage and leave Him there. You will never be the same and neither will your marriage.

Download or read book I Want an Awesome Marriage written by Kim Kimberling and published by Cord of Three Strands. This book was released on 2012-01-21 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our goals at "I Want an Awesome Marriage" is to help lower the divorce rate. We use a number of things to help couples prepare for marriage and to help married couples grow their marriages. Of all the things we do, nothing makes an impact on marriages like our "30 Day Experiment for Married Couples." The plan is simple. Each day you will have a Scripture verse to read together, you'll find some thoughts on the verse, and then you have the opportunity to share your own insights. Finally there is a suggested topic for you to pray about. Many couples carve out a 30 day period of time to devote to this study. Others may choose a less intense process of one, two, or three times a week. Choose a time commitment that works best for you as a couple and then be faithful to it. That's it. Short, simple, but powerful because as a couple you are daily spending time with God. It can change your marriage. We encourage you to take the challenge.
