According to a Harvard study tin 1,287 is the divorce rate for couples who regularly read the Bible together pray together and attend church together -that's less than 1/10 of 10/o. Would you like to give your marriage this kind of bonding and security? Would you like a convenient systematic way to read the Bible and pray together while enriching your marriage?
If I told you there was a way you could cut your chances of divorce to 1 in 1,287, would you be interested? According to a Harvard study tin 1,287 is the divorce rate for couples who regularly read the Bible together pray together and attend church together -that's less than 1/10 of 10/o. Would you like to give your marriage this kind of bonding and security? Would you like a convenient systematic way to read the Bible and pray together while enriching your marriage?
Experiencing Oneness provides a way! It is an interactive, Biblical study designed for you and your mate to discover together God's principles for your marriage. As you interact with the Biblical teaching and with one another you can begin to apply God's Word to your relationship, and witness wonderful things happening in your marriage!
Experiencing Oneness covers 12 important marriage subjects, with each chapter broken into 7 bite-sized studies which you and your mate can easily complete in 15-30 minutes each. These studies encourage personal and couple interaction, give you a daily application to practice and conclude with a Scripture reading and short prayer together.
Discussion questions are provided at the end of each chapter if Experiencing Oneness is being used in a small group study. It can also be used effectively in premarital and marital counseling. We pray this book will prove to be an instrument of growth and bonding in your marriage.
From the Author
As we met thousands of men through our ministry booths at Promise Keeper events around the country, we heard a cry from their hearts - Give me something I can DO with my wife to help our marriage. That's when we knew we had to write Experiencing Oneness.
We had toyed with the idea of writing an interactive study for couples for several years, but couldn't see how we could invest the enormous amount of time it would take. But after two years of hearing comments like the one above, we knew that regardless of the cost, we had to do it.
It has been our experience that most couples do not need long term counseling, but they DO NEED long term training. Several years ago, we visited with the chaplain of a large missionary organization. He shared an amazing observation. He said that 10 years ago, 70% of their missionary candidates came from strong homes where they learned how to have successful interpersonal relationships. 30% came from broken or dysfunctional homes, and had to have a lot more teaching and training before they could be sent to the mission field. Now, a decade later, the percentages have flip-flopped. 30% come from strong, intact families, and 70% come from dysfunctional homes.
Now, if these percentages are true in a missions organization, then they are probably even more lop-sided in most communities and churches. This has been born out in our experience. As we talk with many couples, we generally find that at least one spouse comes from a dysfunctional home where they did not have a chance to learn how husbands and wives were supposed to live together in harmony and love.
We wrote Experiencing Oneness to be a trainer of couples. It gives couples the opportunity to discuss how they are going to work biblical principles into their married lives. We know if a couple wrestles their way through this book, they will learn how to more effectively communicate with each other, how to fight fair, how to handle their anger, how to be more intimate. In short, they will learn how to be happily married.
By using Experiencing Oneness in our marriage and pre-marriage counseling, we have also learned that it is a useful resource for one couple to mentor another. Couples in every church need mentors as never before - a more mature couple investing their lives in another couple who wants help in the growth process. It is our desire Experiencing Oneness will make the mentoring couple's job easier and more directed.
It is our sincere prayer that Experiencing Oneness will help many couples experience a deeper oneness in their marriage relationship.
