Growing a Strong Marriage:
Leader’s Guide

A short video introduction to the Growing a Strong Marriage booklet.

The stages listed are meant to help the reader consider and identify common phases involved when an individual moves from singleness to marriage. It is not an exhaustive or prescriptive formula for the marriage process but can be used to raise discussion and increase perspective.

This booklet contains resources for couples in early engagement. This resource can be used by church leadership in their initial meeting with an engaged couple.

These modules are part of the biblically based series of resources that can be used to counsel and encourage premarital couples as well as strengthen and nurture discussion with couples of all ages.

Prayerfully review these questions before the Lord and with a mature, spiritual mentor or minister. They are intended to encourage a level of accountability as you strive to have a God-honoring engagement which can be a testimony to others of the work which God is doing in your lives. 

The questions below are meant to help you discuss and evaluate a number of aspects of your marriage. They can help you assess how you are doing in each area and identify areas where you are strong or need to grow. Open, respectful communication is key to any godly, healthy relationship, especially a marital relationship.
