Marriage Matters: Keeping the Holy in Matrimony

"Let us perfect holiness out of reverence for God" (2 Corinthians 7:1). That verse makes a fine mission statement for any marriage. God's purpose for the home is bigger than two people being happy together.

Marriage Matters: Keeping the Holy in Matrimony is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams on building a marriage that honors God.

How This Study Helps

Couples rarely set out to drift apart. It happens slowly through unresolved conflict, financial pressure, selfishness, and simple neglect. By the time a marriage is in crisis, it's hard to know where to begin.

This study offers biblical and practical help at every stage, from preparing for marriage to rekindling romance, praying together, handling money, and resolving conflict. It names the pests that wreck marriages, speaks honestly about divorce, and calls couples back to the covenant they made before God.
