What happens when you fail your spouse? How does forgiveness work in marriage? Dan B. Allender and Tremper Longman III have together written this inductive Bible study guide to help couples build healthy and happy marriages. Through six study sessions for individuals, couples or groups, they encourage you to examine dynamics of conflict and forgiveness that can keep your marriage strong. Intimate Marriage Bible studies bring spouses into deeper communion with God and with each other. In marriage a man and a woman are called to leave their families of origin, to weave their individual lives into a unity and to cleave to each other. How can fallen human beings even begin to contemplate this ideal--God's ideal? These studies will help you take small but real steps toward honoring the image of God in each other and living out God's goal for marriage. As you explore and respond to Scripture together, you will discover strength and beauty in your marriage and become even more intimate companions.

This review is from: Forgiveness (Intimate Marriage) (Paperback)
The Intimate Marriage series is hit and miss. The "Forgiveness" study is not very strong.
The doctrine is solid. For example, they explore the effects of sin in marriage by studying Genesis 3:1-7 (the Fall) and Romans 7 (Pauls' personal struggle with sin). They encourage honest self-evaluation according to Psalm 51 (David's confession after sinning with Bathsheba) and according to the log and the speck in Matthew 7:1-6. They encourage couples to consider the grace of God in the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21-35. All of this content is solid. However, the study questions and side-bar insights fall flat. The study fails like a sermon that is entirely correct, but not well applied. Stronger studies by the same authors include Sexual Intimacy: 6 Studies for Individuals, Couples or Groups (Intimate Marriage) (benefiting from Longman's expertise in the Song of Songs) and Communication: 6 Studies For Individuals, Couples or Groups (Intimate Marriage) (benefiting from Longman's expertise in the Proverbs). In both studies the scholarship is deep, the insights profound and the questions penetrating. Another weak study is Dreams and Demands: 6 Studies for Individuals, Couples or Groups (Intimate Marriage). (That study addresses a random collection of marriage problems including barrenness, jealousy, financial stress and past abuse - but no subject is handled thorougly.) For couples who want to study sin and forgiveness, I would recommend the book When Sinners Say "I Do": Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage. Easy to read, Gospel-centered, insightful, joyful and convicting.
