Developing a Marriage Enrichment Seminar for Couples at Easthaven Baptist Church, Kalispell, Montana

Pages : 215
Book Description
This project focuses on the development and implementation of a marriage enrichment program pastors' and lay personnel can utilize for the purpose of helping couples strengthen and enhance their marriages. Chapter 1 explains the purpose and goals of the project, including the methodology used to identify the eight key topics incorporated into the program. Chapter 2 begins with an exposé of the biblical basis for marriage, demonstrating how the Bible presents marriage as a sacred covenant-keeping relationship in which God joins a husband and wife into a one-flesh union for the purpose of displaying Christ's love for his church. The chapter explores how the preeminence of Christ positively impacts marriage. Emphasis is placed on what a person believes about God, and how their theological perception determines what they believe to be true about the purpose and meaning of marriage. Ultimately, what couples believe to be true about God will determine the quality of their marriages. Chapter 3 examines the distinct roles and responsibilities of husbands and wives. Four key roles of the Christian husband as a leader, longsufferer, learner, and lover are examined. Nine attributes of Christ's love for his church are discussed, including how husbands should exemplify each attribute in how they love their wives. Chapter 3 also examines the wife's role and submission. Clarification is made regarding what biblical submission looks like, including, six misconceptions regarding what submission is not. Other topics addressed include, communication, forgiveness, identifying idols of the heart, and sexual intimacy in marriage. Chapter 4 details the steps involved in conducting the marriage enrichment retreat associated with this project. Details are provided on how eight key topics were chosen and developed for the retreat. Included is a weekly breakdown of events, and a description of each of the eight sessions taught during the retreat. Chapter 5 presents an evaluation of the project in meeting the stated purpose and established goals. Strengths and weakness of the project are discussed, along with suggested improvements intended to enhance future retreats. The importance of teaching the Gospel with an emphasis on God’s mercy, grace, and forgiveness, is emphasized in the theological and personal evaluations of this project. The appendices include all supporting forms, surveys, lessons plans, and supporting data. Appendix 8 includes a copy of a research paper addressing “Divorce, Remarriage and Church Leadership.” The paper is referenced in the project, and those making difficult decisions regarding divorce, remarriage and church leadership often request copies of the paper.

Enriching Pastoral Couples' Marriages in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Australia

Pages : 362
Book Description
The goal of this study was to outline how pastoral couples in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Australia might strengthen their marriages. This is deemed to be an imperative considering the pain and loss of a broken marriage, and in particular a pastor's marriage. It is argued that this endeavour will find a greater chance of success when the pastoral couple's commitment to marital enrichment is supported by the Seventh-day Adventist Church administration and the church members. Through an examination of the Scriptures, this study identifies intimacy in a marital union to be God-designed and blessed by Jesus Christ. Married couples who identify as Christian will recognize that their marriages are to be a statement about the love of God for his Church. This love is to be a self-sacrificing love just as Jesus gave himself in love to his Church. Pastoral couples who set out to enrich and empower their marriages and commit to bringing them towards the love of Jesus will find greater empowerment to minister their churches. Research in the social science reveals that genuine marital love will find its richest meaning through emotional intimacy. The study outlines how pastoral couples might find opportunities within the church setting to experience emotional intimacy, and how these opportunities can be made richer through supportive ministry from their administrators and members. The study also provides strategies for initiating this three-part ministry into the Seventh-day Adventist churches in Australia. The study concludes that while not all churches might choose to take up this initiative, nor might all pastoral couples choose to make a commitment to strengthen their marriages, or all church administrators commit to supporting their pastoral staff in their marital journey, the project is worthy of investigation and inclusion in the SDA Church ministry program.
