I married at age 23, to Sarah 20 and we have been married now for 38 years. Many of these years have been filled with challenges bigger than either of us had maturity to resolve. Soon after we were married and had finished our 4 plus years of training we became foreign missionaries for 15 years and lived in South American.
All though I was raised as an American my upbringing was mostly in South America. I was a blend of North American and local culture, each with it's unique and sometimes conflicting values and practises.
During our first 10 years of marriage we struggled ALOT! There were many factors contributing to this but the most significant of them all was the fact that we didn't know exactly what God's true purpose was for marriage, at least not in the day-to-day life of being married. We didn't understand the God defined roles of the husband and the wife.
Our years have been full of struggles and victories that have shaped us and our relationship today. We want so much to help married people stay married and to enter into the fullness of joy and satisfaction God intends for them. And we believe that this course can do just that, because it is made up of the very things that have been bringing us marital success through our 38 years together.
This course is a brief summary of the most significant principles and practises that have contributed to us staying married and growing into the rich and deep intimacy we enjoy today.
In this course you will find tried and true principles and practises rooted in the wisdom of God for people to experience Successful marriage.
I am 61 years old this year and want to bless marriages with what we have learned through all these years!
May God richly bless you too with maturity and intimacy to accomplish His desire for your marriage!
