Most people marry between the ages of 25 and 45. This is precisely the generation most likely to be absent from our churches, therefore a marriage preparation course provides an opportunity for mission, particularly when so many non-Christians still desire to marry in church. A marriage preparation course offers the opportunity for the Church to engage in its mission of articulating the Gospel, especially among those who have limited opportunity to hear it.
Preparing For Marriage: Leaders Edition can function as an off-the-shelf marriage preparation handbook with everything that is needed to run a marriage preparation short-course based on seven group sessions. This includes ice-breaking exercises for each session, seven talks and discussion topics, group exercises, plus suggestions for space requirements and refreshments for these sessions.
