Back to School with Jim Jacobus and Your Marriage Matters!
This week we're reminding couples that the best marriages are built by those who never stop learning. We're inviting you to become a student of marriage — and of your spouse — with three incredible resources:
📘 The 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman — Learn how to speak the unique "love language" of your spouse, whether that's Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Physical Touch, or Gifts. Discover why love often gets "lost in translation" and how to fix it! 📝
The Relational Needs Survey by David Ferguson — A practical tool that helps you identify your deepest relational needs (like acceptance, respect, support, or comfort) and how they show up in your marriage. Knowing your spouse's needs creates a roadmap for deeper connection. 📖
Marriage by Paul David Tripp — A gospel-centered look at marriage, reminding us that two broken people in a broken world desperately need grace. Tripp provides honest truth, real-life examples, and biblical wisdom to help couples move from frustration to flourishing.
✅ Invest in your marriage today — because great marriages don't just happen, they're intentionally built!
