Hey, guys! Let's try to tough it out for 1 more week and finish this book!! Girls will read the last three chapters in the book, 17-19. The guys will be reading 17-19. Part 5 of the guys book will have to be read on your own time.

Due to the content of the girls last chapters, we'll split up at the beginning of discussion. Please try to talk about the chapters with your spouse before coming. And there is no pressure to share anything with the group if you don't want to!!

See you all on Tuesday, Matt and Jill's house, 6:30pm!

Questions for the girls:
- Are there ways in which you need to focus on being more one with your spouse instead of operating separately or independently of him?
- In what practical ways have you attempted to cultivate intimacy in your marriage?
- How have you effectively ministered to your husband in the past?
- What do you sense he may need most from you during this season of his life? Are you willing to make him your primary ministry focus?
- How can a woman guard her mind and heart against extramarital pitfalls?
- How can you redirect some of your "Hurried Woman Syndrome" time and energy toward enhancing your relationship with your husband?

March 2

Please read the introduction and chapter 1 for this week. We'll meet at James and Stephanie's house at 6:30 for dinner.
Hope to see everyone!!

See you then!






And the book!
This semester we will be studying "Every Man's Marriage" and "Every Woman's Marriage". We will start this series on Tuesday, February 23rd. We will meet at 6:30 at Matt and Jill's house for dinner (pizza!) and will split up to Chris and Melissa's house if we've got too many people for discussion. Please try to get the book before you come, but if can't get it by then don't worry about it, we can read the questions at group! What a blessing it will be to strengthen our marriages and become better spouses together with such a great group of people!

February 9

Can't wait to see everyone!

January 26

What an exciting year this will be!! Next week we will meet at James and Stephanie's house for dinner (bring your own or eat before you come), then split up and study the lesson. Please see address below. The lesson will be Lesson 9, The Dangers of Pride (James 4:11-17).

Here are the ideas mentioned in group about what we could study this year. After next week's lesson we will vote and decide what we will do this semester. Try to pick just one, or come with an idea on how to combine two. No, you will not hurt any one's feelings.

1) Talk about what the sermon was from Sunday and how it applies to our lives

2) Spiritual gift (analysis and application)

3) Spiritual disciplines and how to actually DO them

4) Study marriage in scripture

5) Read a book, such as Abba's Child, or one that Desiree mentioned Every Man/Woman's Marriage

We can also make it a priority to pursue spiritual mentors, do a service project monthly, and share about our personal lives and spiritual journeys with each other in group.

Love you guys!

Jill and Matt
