This resource offers a three-part strategy for growth: Biblical instruction (where good, practical Biblical content is taught), small group discussion (where couples discuss and help one another apply the principles taught) and private couple sharing (where couples make decisions about how the subject material will be applied in their own relationship).
Eleven chapters address topics such as how to build better communication, how to control anger, how to improve joint decision making, how to enhance physical and spiritual intimacy, how to set goals, and how to develop relationship skills.
Besides the actual teaching material there is a chapter detailing how to plan a weekend retreat, appendices for overhead transparency masters, seminar/retreat schedules, checklist for retreat preparation, TIPS for group discussion leaders, and even menus and food buying lists if you have to arrange for your own meals at a retreat center.
