Bible
study and marriage go together as a natural part of a Christian union.
While it's important for all Christians, it should
be done at least weekly so you can stay in touch with God.
Living
Together In Christ
Bible study for couples is a
way to share their faith with each other
and share what God shows each one separately.
Christian men and women should grow in Christ together, helping each
other with patience, love and kindness.
Ideally Christians should marry another Christian to avoid deep rooted
problems that will surface when raising children or when dealing with
problems and moral issues.
If you are married to a non-Christian, pray God's love over them and
study the Bible in a way that will not cause dissention. Keep
practicing God's Word and keep peace in your household.
Through God's love you may win your spouse to Christ.
Practicing
Christianity together through God's Word
insures a number of advantages over non-Christian marriages.
It will:
bond husband and
wife together in Christ
keep
the couple equally yoked with the
same spiritual growth
give
husband and wife a means of
positively dealing with problems
keep
both
partners separate from the wrong influences
There are
many ways to work your Bible study together. This article will give you
those ideas.
