Communication in Marriage

The Bible tells us that the marriage relationship is essential to healthy Christian households and, more broadly, to a healthy church body (Eph 5:21–32). If our marriages are not healthy, our church and ministry won’t be healthy either. So, how can we, as Christians, have healthy marriage relationships? Most would agree that communication is crucial. Only through quality communication can a marriage relationship deepen and grow. But often, we’re not even aware of how we are communicating (or not communicating)--both in life and in our marriages. So, how can we improve how we communicate in our marriages?

In this course, we want to look at what the Bible says about healthy ways of communicating and find how we can incorporate these Biblical principles into our marriage relationships. Using Now You’re Speaking My Language by Dr. Gary Chapman, we want to explore all areas in our marriages in which we need to improve communication.
