Selecting Healthy Emotions in Marriage - Day Two

On today, spend time evaluating the emotions that build up your marriage and the ones that can tear them down. Remember, you can select healthy emotions or unhealthy ones, the choice is yours. 

Realization Exercise: Make a list, on one side put the Healthy Emotions and on the other side The Unhealthy Emotions. Write out the emotions that you have found in your bible reading from yesterday, such as Colossians chapter 3; and Galatians 5:22-23;  for example: Write Love on the Healthy Side; and Unforgiveness on the other side. Give a short definition for each. Do this for each healthy and unhealthy emotion that you have listed.

When you finish look at the definitions it will really open you and your spouse up to the reality of what comes behind such emotions. 

May you have a productive time in your study!

Selecting Healthy Emotions in Marriage - Day One

On today, spend time going through the bible and finding healthy emotions as outlined in Scripture. Whenever you release good and positive emotions your marriage will benefit. The idea is to select fruitful emotions over the ones that can create harm to the relationship.  

Once you have identified key scriptures that reinforce godly emotions, discuss what they are suggesting to you and your spouse. In addition, discuss how they can benefit your marriage. Two good places to start in the bible are Colossians the entire 3rd Chapter and Galatians 5:22-23.


May you have a productive time in your study!

Catastrophic Conditions in Marriage - Day Four

On today, spend time going through the bible and finding cases where people were facing the challenges that Jesus listed in the Gospel of Luke 4:18-19. Write out the case, what took place, and the scripture reference beside the case. Discuss each case and give a biblical solution. 

For example:
Challenge: Brokenhearted:
Case: (give some details about the why the person was brokenhearted)
Scripture Reference: (what is the scripture book: verses)
Solutions to the Case: (what are some biblical solutions?)

Remember to review days one and two.

May you have a productive time in your study!

Catastrophic Conditions in Marriage - Day Three

On today, take time to review Days One and Two with your spouse. Reflect on the areas that Jesus spoke of in the Gospel of Luke 4:18-19; Go over the meanings both literal and figurative from Day One. In addition, continue your discussion on how these areas can affect your relationship with one another if they go unaddressed and not solved from Day Two.

May you have a productive time in your review study!

Catastrophic Conditions in Marriage - Lesson Two

On today, we would like for you and your spouse to go through the areas that were outlined by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke 4:18-19 and discuss the ones that you both have found yourselves challenged by; For example: Was it brokenheartedness, emotional bruise, something that held you captive? 

This exercise can really help you both address the areas that you both have brought into your relationship along with any experiences that may have risen amongst you both. Sometimes we have the tendency to"brush them under the carpet" Remember, Jesus wants to heal!

May you have a productive time together!

Catastrophic Conditions in Marital Life - Lesson One

On today, we would like for you and your spouse to go through the Gospel of Luke chapter 4; verses 18-19; We ask that you take a close look at each area that Jesus said he came minister to. Look up the terms such as the poor; brokenhearted, captives, blind, bruised, etc. Look for the Literal Meaning and Figurative Meanings. 

For Example:
Poor - Literal Meaning - Those who are without basic needs;
Poor - Figurative Meaning - Those who are in need spiritually, emotionally, etc.

Put your notes together and really exhaust each area that Jesus was sent to solve. Remember, these kinds of pains reveal the conditions of people. 

Objective:  For you and your spouse to see how these areas affect Marital Life as people bring them into their marital relationship with one another.

Unconditional Love Lesson - Day Five
