This lesson contains a couple of helpful things I learned while reading two books by Shanti Feldhahn, For Men Only and For Women Only. There is good insight for both husbands and wives.

This multi-week study is a presentation of the research done for the book The Good News About Marriage by Shaunti Feldhahn. In the study, we debunk nearly universally held, often quoted statistics about marriage, remarriage, and divorce. Specifically:
None of those “facts” are even close to true! This study should be an encouragement to anyone, married or not, that there is great hope for a happy, life-long marriage.
Here are the relevant links to the book on the iBook Store and Amazon.

This is an expository look at Titus 2:1-10, where Paul tells Titus how he should be instructing the new believers in Crete to live and behave. There are six groups of people he highlights: older men, older women, younger women, younger men, ministers, and employees.
I updated the PDF in August of 2013 when I noticed some mistakes. For all of the thousands who have downloaded it, please get the updated version.

This lesson is a reminder to pay attention to everything you do when you interact with your spouse because each interaction either builds or tears down the relationship.

This lesson attempts to rekindle the romantic fire that once existed between husbands and wives. It is based on passages from Song of Solomon. Included are worksheets for the husband and wife that might reveal areas that could renew the romantic fire between them.

This study is mainly a compilation of biblical passages about marriage. The material includes a worksheet that can be printed and used for group study by assigning a different passage to each group and allowing them to discover the marriage-relevant instruction themselves.

This complement to the Mother’s Day lesson is written to wives and contains some biblical instruction about how to treat their husbands. The theme is “respecting your husband.”

This material was written in support of the Cambodia mission in January 2006. It’s not in a lesson format since it was intended to be combined with the other training material and then translated into Khmer. It has since been used in other international training efforts and is useful for basic Christian marital, parental, and domestic topics.

This extensive study was written in 1997 for our premarital Bible study with the large crop of engaged students in our college class at Elmcrest Baptist Church in Abilene, TX, where we led the college ministry. It covers just about all of the marriage-relevant passages in the Bible and hits on all of the important topics couples need to consider before they get married. It also includes a number of book reviews that tap wisdom from the best available Christian authors, as well. A lot of the content can easily be repurposed for use with married couples. Originally, we called the study, “Before You Say, ‘I do.'”
