The best resource on marriage I've seen. Extremely beneficial whether your marriage is on the rocks or you have a great marriage which you want to make even better. Some really insightful stuff there. I don't usually buy this sort of stuff but this time thought it would be a great investment. It is a Christian DVD however it in no way precludes or is offensive to non-Christians, in fact I think there are some unique perspectives which make it all the more richer. Highly recommend it (and I've never recommended something on amazon in my life)

Our church presented this DVD series to us some years ago in an all day seminar. I was going thru a pending separation and divorce at the time, but I went anyway...to find out how a marriage REALLY should be and to prepare myself for the future. I said to myself that whenever I was ready to marry again, my future mate and I would HAVE to go thru this first, before we moved forward. Thus, I purchased this set and we are watching it slowly, pausing to discuss issues, etc. It is an outstanding series for the married, soon-to-be married, want to be married...you get the point. I would highly recommend for ALL. It is sound biblical and practical instructions for a victorious marriage. If your church does not present this to you, buy it yourself. It is more than worth the nominal expense. You will already have 90% of your marriage counseling complete (smile), if you do it right and discuss the issues. That way, when you go into your actual, live sessions with your pastor or whomever, things will flow smoothly and quickly because you have already tackled the major issues.

My husband and I really enjoyed the fresh perspective in this study. The speaker in the video was so knowledgeable in scripture and at the same time was very open about his own struggles and shortcomings in the past. My favorite part was that it wasn't just a 1,2,3 now everything is fixed study, it relied heavily on the conviction of the Holy Spirit and personal spiritual formation. Now that is really where lives are truly affected is through God's transformation of the heart, not a formula.

After reading Jimmy Evans book, Marriage on the Rock, and buying the CD, my wife and I decided to buy the DVD http://www.amazon.com/Marriage-Rock-Jimmy-Evans/dp/B000F39P4O/ref=pd_bbs_sr_5?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1213235904&sr=8-5
Being married for 46 years, we often meet with couples to mentor them in their marriage. This resource is the best we've ever seen. We showed it to two couples groups, and both groups ordered the DVD. The material is insightful, Biblically based, and presented in an honest way - and with appropriate humor. The discussions that have followed have been deep and beneficial.

We have used this video series for pre-marriage counseling and are currently using it with a group of 15 married couples. It is very practical, very Biblical and effectively delivered with just the right amount of humor. It is easy to follow and creates good discussion. I highly recommend it.

We are just half way through this series but I can tell you it's great. it's for married as well as young couples thinking about marriage. I recommend this to anyone want to be in a God designed marriage.

Jimmy Evans speaks to husbands and wives from his personal life and marriage to his wife Karen. He is direct in his approach to both men and women. He speaks from the heart to issues that are sensitive & challenging to work through as a married couple. He provides insights and hope to the most difficult scenarios with a touch of humor at appropriate moments. I highly recommend this DVD series to all couples who are seeking to improve their relationship and strengthen their marriage based on the foundation of Jesus Christ.

I bought the book marriage on the Rock 6 years ago and it left a lasting impression. Now that I purchased the DVD which is worth the $ 100.00,I can't wait to show it to all of my friends.
It has all the informations that is needed to a happy marriage.
We spend a lot of money for schools to make more money, but can't see that marriage also requires education but we don't want to invest.
This marriage seminar is a gift from the heart of God to us and I thank the Evans to allow God to share with us the success for a happy secure marriage.
Sincerely,
Evelyn Shaw
