*** The Christian Family

This course applies Christian redemption to family relationships,

• “turning the hearts of parents to their children and the hearts of children to their parents,”
• teaching Christian husbands to love their wives “as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,”
• and teaching wives to willingly and lovingly submit to their husbands “as the church submits to Christ.”

We look at

• God’s ideal for the family,
• dealing with tensions,
• reconciling broken relationships,
• the problems of divorce and rebellion,
• helping our children resist evil and keeping them for the Lord,
• how to invite God into your home,
• how to teach your children God’s word and lead them in worship,
• how to keep love alive in marriage,
• sex in marriage as God intended it,
• keeping communications open,
• activities that unite the family,
• choosing the right person to marry,
• and more.

Good for all those who plan to be married or to counsel others, as well as all family members.
