More About Our Building Faithful Marriages Christian Marriage Resources

Through more than three hours of videos and 100+ study questions, this Building Faithful Marriages course examines the following topics. Videos may be viewed in any order; please feel free to pick and choose the Christian marriage resources here that address topics of interest.

Refine Your Marriage: Every married couple understands that building a life between two imperfect people takes work. Sometimes, the resulting challenges can cause breakdown and heartache when we focus on the problems instead of the Lord. This four-part series teaches couples how to foresee and avoid those danger signs and gives tips for focus to refine ourselves into the godly husbands and wives the Lord has called us to be.
A New Vision for Marriage: Many marriages today face tremendous difficulties that threaten their futures. This video encourages pastors to cast a vision that helps couples to see a different way of living both with God and one another.
Create Balance: As women, we are being pulled in all different directions. We have plenty of things to do and people to see, and we have many responsibilities. It’s no wonder we often find ourselves exhausted and overburdened. This video talks about creating balance and what that means for those who desire to be good stewards of the things God has placed in their lives.
Five Simple Steps to Take When Your Husband Is Overwhelmed: You see your husband overwhelmed and exhausted. It could be work or finances. Maybe there are things going on with his parents, your kids, or his health. It takes work every day to keep a marriage happy and healthy. This video explores things wives can do actively to help their husbands during difficult times.
Stop Conflict Before It Starts: Your thoughts help form and determine your attitude toward marriage and how you feel about your husband. They can inspire hope or take it away; they can promote peace or declare war. This video helps women deal with anger and the external triggers that can make conflict grow out of control.
When You Need Your Husband’s Forgiveness: One of the more difficult aspects of marriage is apologizing to your husband when you’ve done something wrong. And right up there with repentance and asking for forgiveness is waiting for healing and restoration. This video talks about what women can do when they’ve broken their husband’s trust and encourages them to put their trust in God for healing and restoration.
Gospel Marriage: Many men and women don’t realize how little they know about their own hearts until they get married. Even when you marry with the purest intentions and best in pre-marriage preparation, there is a steep learning curve once you get home from the honeymoon. This video encourages couples to pursue a Gospel-centered marriage.
Have a Good Fight with your Spouse: It doesn’t take very long after you exchange vows to realize that conflict, even in marriage, is inevitable. It’s how you handle this conflict that makes all the difference. This video clarifies the difference between a good and bad fight and shares strategies for using conflict to create better and stronger connections in couples.
Marriage Basics: Our world says marriage means living happily ever after. God’s definition of marriage centers on holiness, not happiness. This video looks at a proper picture of marriage based on the Bible.
To Protect Your Marriage: If asked to list our priorities, most of us would say God and family easily fill the top two spots, but do we always live that way? How do you keep your marriage elevated above your job and hobbies and even ministry? This video shows married couples how to rightly prioritize their marriages.
Life Remains Messy after Reconciliation: Adultery hurts. Pain exists for both husband and wife when there is an affair in a marriage. But there is grace. Sarah Markley knows the pain of infidelity. Now a well-known writer, Sarah speaks about the lasting effects her affair has had on her marriage and the profound reality of God’s grace in her marriage.
Love the Differences in Your Family: The differences of our spouse and kids can be frustrating, especially when we feel like we are right. Often, though, these differences are not a matter of right and wrong, but particular God-given bents toward communication and problem-solving. This video explores how we can enjoy and benefit from our differences in the family.
How to Deal with Arguments in Your Marriage: Almost every couple argues at some point in their marriage. This video will help you look inward at your own marriage and address conflict.
Expectations We Bring to Marriage: We all bring expectations into marriage. This video helps us understand where those expectations come from and how we can create realistic ones.
Financial Stress in Marriage: Marriage can be hard enough, but when you add the strain of paying bills and setting budgets, it can become completely overwhelming. This video shares some insight into ways to balance and control the financial stress in marriage.
Crazy Busy: I’m busy. You’re busy. We’re all busy. But what is all this busyness costing us? What toll is busyness extracting from our lives? And what are its hidden—and not so hidden—dangers?
The Foundations of a Healthy Marriage: Our world often produces an unhealthy focus and false expectations for marriage. Godly marriages don’t happen by accident. This video shares guidance for healthy relationships.
