About this title

From the Back Cover

The More You Give in Love . . . The More You Live in Love

Jesus modeled real love for His people on earth, leaving an example of self-sacrifice like none other.

In The Model Marriage, consider the roles of courage, strength, and nobility in a healthy marriage; uncover the mysterious power in that sticky word: submission; learn what it means to display a selfless spirit in marriage; and understand why you are called to love like Jesus in your relationship with each other. This study contains four sessions, each with four main components:

Tilling the Ground
Planting the Seed
Watering the Hope
Harvesting the Fruit

Marriage is about discovering that deep joy comes from following Jesus' example of loving another . . . with a sacrificial love.

Whether you're in a small group, a mentoring relationship, or you just want to study as a couple, this series can transform your marriage for the better."--Jim Daly, President, Focus on the Family

"Marriage is an amazing adventure--filled with excitement, joy, and challenges. Focus on the Family's Marriage Series examines God's gift of marriage in all of its wonderful dimensions. I consider it a privilege to be involved with this important set of relationship-strengthening resources."--Dr. Greg Smalley, Vice President, Family Ministries, Focus on the Family
