Gospel-Centred Marriage
Description
Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that shape a gospel-centred marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption.
To understand why marriages struggle—as they all do—we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.
This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the Gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response.

Excellent
A great little book, studies are well structured and lead to good discussions. I have been doing them with my fiance preparation for our upcoming marriage. You can easily do them in 20 to 30 minutes. 
Gospel Centred Marriage
This is a wonderful guide to all those out there that wish to follow God's wishes with marriage in mind. There is a little work apart from just 'reading a book' with reference's to look at in The Great Book. My fiance and I have found this an enormous help. Recommended!
