A Small Group Discussion Guide
for Married Couples
Are you looking to build a stronger, closer, more intimate marriage?
This fast-moving, carefully-designed small group workbook and curricula for couples and churches—led by a renowned therapist and a social researcher—will help you get there.
Through eight sessions, you will grow in community with other couples, then apply what you are learning at home. Part One is four sessions on many aspects of intimacy (emotional, spiritual, physical…). Part Two is four sessions gently addressing common issues around physical intimacy in marriage—a vital topic that most marriage studies barely address. (Couples can, if they prefer, go through Part Two on their own rather than in the group).
Grounded in extensive experience and research, each small-group discussion is eye-opening and practical, but does not veer into territory private to each couple. You can participate and learn comfortably, knowing you will have an opportunity to discuss those issues personally at home.
We hope you join us for this special study. Because learning and communicating well on these topics will unlock intimacy in your marriage for a lifetime.
