4. Sex & the Christian Couple
Marriage Partnership Bible Study
What does the Bible have to say about sex within marriage? Should we feel guilt over some of the things we do? How can we know what sexual activities are okay and what aren't? This study examines issues many Christians wonder about but seldom discuss regarding sex within marriage.

3. Communicate Love to Your Spouse
Marriage Partnership Bible Study
"I'm convinced there are only five languages of love. Each person uses all the languages, but really thrives on one," says Gary Chapman in his article for Marriage Partnership magazine. These love languages are channels to communicate our love to our spouse. They require sacrificial effort, contemplative forethought, and purposeful demonstration. However, the results of successfully communicating our love are tender intimacy and a stronger marriage bond.

2. Learning to Appreciate Our Spouse
Marriage Partnership Bible Study
It is easy to focus on the aggravations, annoyances, and behaviors that frustrate or anger us in marriage. This can cause us to lose sight of the significant gifts of kindness and service our spouse gives us every day. If our attitude is critical or negative, we will miss much of the joy of married life. This study will explore how to train our hearts and minds to be thankful for our spouse.

1. Glorify God Together: A Marriage of Purpose
Marriage Partnership Bible Study
A marriage centered on Christ is specifically focused on glorifying God, according to Rick Warren in his article entitled "The Purpose-Driven Marriage," written for Marriage Partnership. Our main purpose in marriage should be much greater than fulfilling our own wants and needs or even the wants and needs of our spouse. Our main purpose in marriage should be to focus on being of the same mind, according to Jesus, so that with one accord and one voice we glorify God.
