Preparation for marriage goes far beyond romance—it requires spiritual readiness, emotional maturity, and a surrendered heart.

What does it mean to truly walk in love within marriage? This session explores agape love—the sacrificial, unchanging love that reflects God’s nature.

It’s an honest and encouraging look at how love grows over time.

Continuing the theme of love in action, this lesson focuses on grace in daily interactions—how spouses can bear with one another in weakness and still grow closer. Cline offers both biblical encouragement and practical tools for staying emotionally connected and spiritually aligned. The teaching emphasizes that love is not just maintained in grand gestures but lived out in small, consistent ways. These patterns shape the heart of a biblical marriage.

Marriage creates powerful spiritual influence—both partners can shape each other’s walk with Christ, for better or worse.

It’s a challenging but empowering message about the role each spouse plays in spiritual growth.

Students will learn how to avoid destructive patterns like sarcasm, stonewalling, or defensiveness, and instead pursue unity and peace. Strong communication is a pillar of every biblical marriage, and this session equips students to build it intentionally.
