As Craig mentioned above, he and his wife Jan struggled in their marriage relationship for the first seven years.

Have you ever argued with your spouse about something and felt like the argument was much too big for such a simple topic? In this lesson you will learn about the Two Levels of Communication, and how they play a significant role in your relationship with your spouse. Men, if you don’t understand how your wife receives love you may spend a great amount of time and energy trying to demonstrate love in all the wrong ways. This lesson will show you how to effectively fill your wife’s love tank in a way that is meaningful to her. Wives, Craig will also share with you the top things your husband needs from you to feel loved and valued.

There are lies that couples often believe in the midst of conflict that immediately block any chance of true resolution taking place. In this lesson, Craig exposes these lies, teaches their corresponding truths, and uncovers common blind spots operating in both husbands and wives. While conflict is bound to happen in any healthy relationship, mishandling the conflict causes far more damage than the conflict itself. You’ll learn to build a “relational covenant”, or set of ground rules, to which you can refer when relationally intense moments crop up. You will also discover how forming a habit of daily prayer with your husband or wife will deepen your relationship and strengthen your marriage beyond what you ever thought possible.

What does “transparency” mean within your marriage? Anything in your life that is kept hidden from your spouse can potentially damage your relationship, even if it doesn’t directly affect your spouse. In this lesson Craig shares a message by David and Maxine Broom, the Family Foundation International Africa Ministry Leaders, on transparency in marriage. This powerful message lends a fresh understanding of the damage that can be done when secrets are kept from your spouse, and the supernatural healing that the Holy Spirit brings when transparency is introduced.

As you and your spouse go about life together, inevitably one of you will embitter, offend, and or sin against the other. The only way to correct this is by forgiveness. The offense may be small or large and difficult to forgive, but if forgiveness is not a central part of your marriage relationship, it will be very difficult to have transparency and openness. This ultimately builds a wall of separation between you and your spouse and God. In this lesson, Craig teaches you how to fully forgive an offense. You will also hear the personal testimony of Bob and Audrey. God was able to take the ashes, the sin, and the bitterness in their marriage relationship and transform it into something beautiful. This can happen for you as well.

Many people see divorce and remarriage as a normal reality of life, when in fact it is abnormal and devastating. This is not what God had in mind and is definitely not part of His plan. In this lesson, Craig teaches what scripture says about this subject and its practical application in your life today. Since the blood covenant is not a commonly recognized part of today’s culture, as you begin to understand its four primary components, you will fully grasp the significance that the blood covenant represents within your marriage.

In this final lesson, you will review the four key components covered in this course: communication, covenant, forgiveness, and conflict resolution. As you diligently review each lesson and apply these important principles, your marriage will soar to the next level. God has great plans and purposes for your marriage that will unfold as you seek and press into Him! Start planning new adventures with your spouse; dream and laugh again and enjoy your marriage to the fullest extent that God intended!
