A Foundation of Love 14-Week Self-Study Course: A Strategic Workbook for Married Couples Paperback – December 21, 2025

Welcome to *A Foundation of Love*, a workbook designed to help you and your spouse explore, understand, and practice the kind of love that transforms marriages from ordinary to extraordinary. Marriage is one of God's most beautiful gifts—a sacred covenant that reflects Christ's love for the church. Yet in the daily rhythms of life, it's easy to lose sight of what love truly means. We can become so focused on managing schedules, raising children, building careers, and handling responsibilities that we forget to nurture the very foundation our marriage is built upon: love. But not just any kind of love. The love described in 1 Corinthians 13 is revolutionary. Written by the Apostle Paul to a church struggling with division and pride, this passage has become known as the "Love Chapter" of the Bible. While it wasn't written specifically about marriage, its principles provide the perfect blueprint for how husbands and wives should love one another. This isn't the romantic, feeling-based love that Hollywood portrays. This is agape love—a deliberate, sacrificial, action-oriented love that chooses to honor, serve, and cherish another person regardless of circumstances or feelings. It's the kind of love that weathers storms, overcomes obstacles, and grows deeper with time.Why This Workbook?This workbook is designed to help you:**Understand** what biblical love truly means in the context of your marriage.**Reflect** honestly on how you're currently expressing (or failing to express) this love.**Discuss** important topics with your spouse in a safe, structured environment.**Apply** practical strategies to demonstrate Christ-like love daily.**Grow** together spiritually and relationally as you build your marriage on God's design.Remember, the goal isn't perfection—it's progress.
