The Qualities to Develop in Yourself and Look for in Another if You Desire a Healthy Christian Marriage One Day

What are the ingredients to a healthy marriage? And what should a Christian single person develop in themselves and look for in another if they desire a godly marriage one day?

In this course, you will learn:

  • What traits to really look for in a man or woman before you even get into a dating relationship.
  • What qualities to start working on in yourself if you want to develop into a great spouse for the future marriage God may want to bless you with.
  • What the Bible actually says about marriage requirements for Christians.
  • The signs to look for in someone that would show you this person is not a good option.
  • The signs to look for to show you that this person is a great option.
  • What building blocks every healthy Christian relationship has even when they are unaware of these qualities.

This course is full of Scripture and will give any Christian single person the tools to develop into a godly spouse for the future marriage God may be waiting to give them.

Hi, I'm Mark and welcome to AGW University! You probably know me from my YouTube channel or my website, ApplyGodsWord.com. I'm so glad you've decided to take the next step with me in these biblical courses.

Here's a little about me: I met my wife on a mission's trip and we've now been married for over a decade. We have two children who we love more than words can describe.

A few years back I took a step of faith and started sharing my teachings online. Since then God has blessed the AGW ministry by allowing us to reach millions of people all over the world with biblical teaching.

I love to teach on any biblical subject, but my favorites include Christian singleness, relationships, marriage, God's calling, and God's glory.

My content has been featured on a variety of popular ministries including Focus on the Family (Boundless.org), DesiringGod.org, RelevantMagazine.com, ChurchLeaders.com, BeliefNet.com, and many more.

I currently have authored 8 books, my most popular being Christ-Centered Dating: Pursuing a Relationship that Glorifies God.

I also have a master's degree in pastoral counseling from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary.
