Marriage and the Counsel of God

Marriage and the Counsel of Godwith the accompanying workbook is an effective means of preparing couples for marriage, of supporting those already married, and of recovering marriages that are failing. The text focuses on the biblical model for marriage found in Genesis and Ephesians while following an outline of basic Christian beliefs (e.g., the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, baptism, Holy Communion, and confession/absolution). The essential elements of these beliefs are considered for their import in the Christian life in general and regarding marriage in particular. Abundant Scripture references are provided, as well as examples from real-life situations. The book and workbook are written in clear, nontechnical, and engaging language and are aimed for students and teachers of counseling, for counseling professionals, for pastors, and for the public in general.
