Over the Summer months (June, July, and August) I enjoyed the great opportunity to work with twelve young men discussing Christian marriage preparation. We called this the “Marriage Preparation Package” or the “Marriage Prep Pack” for short. What did we talk about? Here is a list of our key topics: 1. Submitting our desires to the Lord. 2. Purposing to be rightly related to those in authority over us. 3. Developing a biblical view of marriage. 4. Resolving to pray for our future wife. 5. Committing ourself to “Christian marriage preparation” instead of “recreational dating.” 6. Taking active steps to establish our own household. 7. Purposing to not defraud any young ladies. 8. Dwelling on the biblical paradigm of being a godly husband and father. 9. Considering why God established marriage. 10. Approaching a young woman’s father–what to do, and not do. 11. Reflecting on how to be a faithful steward and provider for our future wife and children. 12. Discussing communication in marriage. 13. Learning the biblical pattern of headship and submission in marriage. 14. Giving hope to young men who doubt there is anyone “out there” for them. 15. Talking about how mature godly fathers are looking for direction rather than perfection in potential suitors.

Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him...
