As if...

Something ironic in that.

"Give and Share" series?  So why are they charging nearly $11 for the booklet?  And not giving it away?

In any event, I wouldn't trust what they say or do in this line.  Does it include "giving and sharing" your spouse?  Does it include hitting your kids with wooden spoons?  Does it continue to advocate tough love and not attending to your child's needs?

There have got to be a ton of better books on the market.

 

By contrast, in the UK many churches run "The Marriage Course" which is aimed at getting couple to talk gently  to each other about issues of common concern.  Course can be done online, or sometimes in a small group.  If done in the latter way, with some other couples as well, the church will set out tables for two, beautifully decorated, and make it like a romantic date for each couple.  A meal is served, and everything is very discreet.  You only talk with your spouse and not the other couples.  Tables are far enough apart that conversations cannot be overheard.

And - it's all FREE.  Because caring churches want to build strong couples.  https://www.htb.org/marriage-online

There is also a pre-marriage course, offered to engaged couples, to help them talk about areas that might be difficult in marriage.  Most couples find it very helpful.  For some couples, it's helped them decide that they aren't with the right person, because their attitudes to spousal roles, working, money or children are incompatible.  They may make the decision not to proceed - in which case, a lot of hurt and harm is prevented.  But whatever happens is the couple's decision - not the organisers'.

Oh look at that,

Want to know God's will. . .?

Here's The Word . . . 

The Word of God is The Will of God. 

Still haven't explained how that interpreted itself.

Cause greatest secret.

A little mystery makes things spicy, tis true.
