Prior to Tying the Knot: Christian Marriage Essentials

The important purpose of this marriage preparation e-Book is to help you assess your personal readiness for marriage and to increase your repertoire of tools necessary to grow and maintain a healthy, loving, spiritually satisfying marriage. I will guide you through serious issues to consider about your relationship and alert you to those vital areas that you need to explore with your intended “prior to tying the knot.” Planning for your wedding is a wonderful and exciting adventure. But, it is not nearly as important as planning for your marriage life.

In the society in which we live, it is paramount that couples learn as much about each other as possible before tying that “until death do us part” knot. With divorce rates escalating each year, it seems, couples need every advantage to succeed in today’s marriages. Thus, this marriage preparation guide functions as a booster shot that will boost your capacity to predict and handle potential difficulties and to accentuate awareness of the inevitable challenges of a committed relationship.

This e-Book further seeks to help prepare you to enter into a long term relationship based upon sacrificial love for one another, and to place the needs of your beloved before the needs of self. The Christian couple is encouraged to invite Jesus Christ to be the third cord in the marital relationship: “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12.
