Creating A More Intimate Marriage
A Small Group Study
God created sexuality to reveal Himself and the value He places on intimate relationships. Learning how God uses this metaphor will enhance the long-term relationship of covenant marriage. In this 10-week study, led by Dr. Debbie Neel and Rev. Bob Stancil, married couples will gain biblical and practical insights about healthy sexual intimacy and learn ways of enhancing their love life.
In a safe and respectful environment, this study for couples will be based on the book A Celebration of Sex by Dr. Doug Rosenau with the accompanying Guidebook. Doug was the speaker at our 2005 conference on Sexual Intimacy God’s Way. Debbie Neel, who works closely with Doug and was instrumental in writing the Guidebook, is a licensed psychologist and certified Christian sex therapist. Bob, as a pastoral counselor, also provides leadership to various aspects of the Providence marriage ministry.
The group will meet on Wednesdays beginning January 6 in Room 637 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. A charge of $40 per couple will cover the various books and study materials. For information, call Bob Stancil (919-326-3000). Register online at www.pray.org/marriage. Limited space. Childcare is available by reservation: www.pray.org/sonstation
