Different by Design

A 6-week DVD study that helps us understand our God-designed differences and unify our marriages by appreciating them.

God designed each of us to be different – you are unique and there is no other like you – you are fearfully and wonderfully made. And what makes you unique is often very attractive to someone who is “uniquely different” from you. Think about it – did you marry someone very different? Differences impact all areas of marriage, from communication to parenting strategies, as well as how you approach spending and saving. God intends for these differences to unite not divide – for us to live as one not two. The problem is that differences can create frustration and isolation over time.

God’s plan for marriage is not for a husband and a wife to shed their uniqueness and become one homogenized entity, nor is it for two people to settle for a mediocre or miserable relationship just because they see and react to life so differently.  His plan is indeed for ONENESS – not the homogenized kind, but the kind that comes when two unique (and often entirely opposite) individuals learn to work together, utilizing their strengths to complement and support one another.

Watch to the video below, and then click here to pre-register for this study. We’ll call you when we have four to six couples with the same interest.  There is an additional $39.95 fee for the Ministry Insights profile that is integral to this workshop. Prior to attending the study, you will be able to access it directly via their website.
