Experiencing Oneness : a Couple's Study for Growth in Intimacy

If I told you there was a way you could cut your chances of divorce to 1 in 1,287, would you be interested? According to a Harvard study tin 1,287 is the divorce rate for couples who regularly read the Bible together pray together and attend church together -that's less than 1/10 of 10/o. Would you like to give your marriage this kind of bonding and security? Would you like a convenient systematic way to read the Bible and pray together while enriching your marriage?

Experiencing Oneness provides a way! It is an interactive, Biblical study designed for you and your mate to discover together God's principles for your marriage. As you interact with the Biblical teaching and with one another you can begin to apply God's Word to your relationship, and witness wonderful things happening in your marriage!

Experiencing Oneness covers 12 important marriage subjects, with each chapter broken into 7 bite-sized studies which you and your mate can easily complete in 15-30 minutes each. These studies encourage personal and couple interaction, give you a daily application to practice and conclude with a Scripture reading and short prayer together.

Discussion questions are provided at the end of each chapter if Experiencing Oneness is being used in a small group study. It can also be used effectively in premarital and marital counseling. We pray this book will prove to be an instrument of growth and bonding in your marriage.
