Couple's Bible Study Resource

It’s been a while since I posted something about marriage specifically, so today I want to share something Josh and I discovered during our weekly Bible Study and devotional time together.

Every Wednesday, Josh and I have been setting aside time just before dinner to sit together and spend time with God learning about His plan for marriage. Last year, we stumbled upon an excellent online resource that has great couples Bible Study options, Simply One in Marriage, which is a website.

You can choose from several different topics and each one includes questions to ask each other at the end, which is super helpful to further dive into the topic you covered. (Check it out for yourself: http://simplyoneinmarriage.com/couples-bible-study/)

We have used this resource numerous times and last week the study we did connected us to something they call “Couple Connect.” Which is basically a guide for your weekly time together. (http://simplyoneinmarriage.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Couple-Connect-2.pdf)

Since we are up for anything, we decided to give it a try the last two weeks and have found it to be really helpful!

It brings up topics that we weren’t originally including in our time together, like “accountability,” “decisions,” and “thankfulness.” We have been really enjoying adding this layout to our weekly time together, and it has sparked some excellent conversations.

It’s important to us to make our weekly time a priority but without having a plan, you can spend more time trying to figure out what to cover that actually doing what you set the time aside for. I know it used to be super frustrating to Josh and I when we couldn’t find a resource we both liked or that included questions afterward the lesson. We really like the website I shared, and it is added to quite frequently. Plus, there are already so many topics to choose from, you certainly won’t get bored or have a hard time finding something.

If you have been struggling to set aside devotional time with your spouse, I highly recommend checking out Simply One in Marriage and taking advantage of the Couple Connect they have created.


(I once again have not been asked to endorse this website or their various offerings, I just am sharing what I found and loved).
