In this course, you will learn the 5 foundational elements of building a marriage that is not just happy, but also healthy enough to withstand the unhappy days, which are inevitable as you create a life together.
We call these elements the “5 Building Blocks for a House United” because a house that is united cannot fall. No matter what challenges you may face, you can win together if you keep these building blocks firmly in place.
BUILDING BLOCK ONE: Discovering SHARED BELIEFS & VALUES
Being “equally yoked” goes way beyond your spiritual beliefs. It encompasses your beliefs and values about almost every area of life. In this lesson, you will learn how your personal belief system impacts your marriage and how to create greater alignment in the areas that matter most to you.
BUILDING BLOCK TWO: Securing EQUAL PARTNERSHIP
Equal partnership is the ideal in marriage, but often couples struggle with controlling each other in some form or another. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to honor and respect each other’s strengths, abilities, needs and desires as equal partners in life.
BUILDING BLOCK THREE: Strengthening MUTUAL SUPPORT
If both spouses aren’t satisfied in the marriage, your union may not be as strong as you think. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to overcome selfishness and cultivate a relationship where you and your spouse feel fully supported in the marriage.
BUILDING BLOCK FOUR: Learning to FORGIVE
BUILDING BLOCK FIVE: Creating Your FAMILY VISION
Marriage is holy matrimony. In God’s eyes, your marriage is for a purpose. God brought you together with a vision in mind for your union. In this lesson, you’ll learn the keys to creating a vision that inspires your family to keep moving forward together.
Each video lesson is less than 30 minutes and you will have homework to complete together. We encourage you to take this time seriously. Lean in and learn something new. Completing your lesson homework is essential to getting the most out of this course!
At the end of these 5 sessions, we confident that your relationship will experience a shift in a positive direction. You’ll reference these building blocks over and over as you go through life together. They will serve as guideposts to help you along the way.
