Three Strands, One Covenant: A Christ-Centered Premarital Course for Engaged Couples is a warm, practical, Scripture-rooted guide designed to help you build a marriage that lasts-anchored in Christ, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, and protected by covenant commitment.
Engagement is exciting, but it also reveals questions you can't afford to ignore: How do we communicate when emotions run high? How do we resolve conflict without drifting apart? How do we handle money as one team? What does healthy intimacy look like? How do we set boundaries with family and protect our unity? How do we grow spiritually together-beyond Sunday mornings? This book was written to help you answer those questions with biblical clarity and real-life wisdom before you say "I do."
Built around the timeless truth of Ecclesiastes 4:12-"A cord of three strands is not quickly broken"-this 8-session premarital course focuses on the "three strands" that make a marriage strong: you, your spouse, and Jesus Christ at the center. Created for church-based premarital counseling and couple cohorts, this resource combines pastoral warmth with straightforward discipleship and practical steps you can actually live out.
