INTRODUCING THE LESSON

  Like most everything else in society,views and ideas concerning the marriage relationship are varied.

These views run the spectrum from totally conservative to wide-open liberalism. Yet a quick glance at statistics show that sinful humanity's approach to marriage is not working. Society has moved the wonderful institution of marriage away from what God the creator meant it to be in the beginning. God intented marriage to be fulfilling. And it can be when we bring ourselves into line with God's design. But in order to be fulfilling, marriage must operate according to the instruction manual, the bible. We have an opportunity to strengthen our own marriages, and to help others to strengthen their marriage relationships. This  week's lesson gives us a biblical basis on which to build our marriage.
