Marriage 101: How to have a real life together

by Charisma Staff | Nov 22, 2011 | Charisma Archive

Seattle pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, aren’t afraid to talk about sex and marriage in down-to-earth terms, hitting issues most Christian couples rarely address in public—much less in a book and interactive, DVD-based study kit. Real Marriage challenges spouses
to judge their marriage not by their wedding day but by what their last day together will be like. Will it come prematurely through divorce or will it be filled with regrets at the funeral of a spouse? Or, by God’s grace, will the last day be one for rejoicing in a life lived together? In this study, couples will reflect on Scripture while using the Real Marriage book and video conversation-starters. Homework and group sessions will help couples tackle the tough issues.
