National Marriage Week 2012 invites married couples everywhere to Road Test their marriage with a three point challenge. The simple challenge gives couples three daily tests to check the state of their marriage and pick up early signs that it might not be performing as well it good as could be.
Marriage Week 2012 celebrates healthy marriage as the social institution providing vital inter-generational links and stability. Sensitive to other expressions of formal, committed relationship Marriage Week seeks to include partners whose relationship is based on a civil rather than church ceremony. The central theme for Marriage Week 2012 is based on challenging each marriage partner to run three simple tests that invite a response from their spouse:
Just their response to these simple tests highlights to partners where things can start to go to wrong. Without even noticing it’s happening, busy modern life can easily carry partners into a state of relationship where they don’t have time to respond, notice or really know to each other.
As well as ideas and skills direct to married couples, National Marriage Week supports year initiatives to help churches and church leaders promote healthy fulfilling marriages in their own congregations. Ideas for building marriage support into the church programme include:
Marriage Week 2012 suggests a range of books for you marriage and marriage preparation bookstall. These include a couple of tried and tested marriage and marriage preparation classics:
The changing demands of modern marriage, and the pressure on Christian married couples in an incresingly secular world, means that couples can't be expected find all the answers just between themselves. Expert support and guidance from leaders in tune with the modern world is vital if marriage is to survive and flourish in the economic, social, demographic and sexual climate of the present day.
The number and quality of authors writing about and for marriage, is an indication of the importance that Christian leadership attaches to marriage as the foundation of church, community and civilised life. Despite, or perhaps because of, the statistics of marriage failure, investment in Christian marriage enrichment is a reassuring sign that marriage is not only worth preserving but essential that it should flourish.
Clicking the ‘Christian Books’ tab at the top of the Eden.co.uk home page, and then clicking the underlined word marriage under the ‘Christian Life’ category takes you to a selection of the newest and best selling marriage preparation, preservation and enrichment resources. Invest a little time clicking around in the list and you’ll find something that’ll help you get even more out of even the best marriage.
