Overview

“What’s wrong?” you’re asked, and you quietly respond, “Nothing.” But something is wrong. Our inability to deal with differences creates the perfect environment for resentment to grow, choking out any chance of intimacy. We foolishly think, Why should I say what’s wrong? If my spouse loved me, he or she would know.

This study will ask: What are some of the important components of a good marriage? Should all conflict be dealt with? How can we ensure we will have a lifelong relationship? What part does forgiveness play in our marriage?
