This series of messages provides teaching and insights into how an elder can approach premarital counseling and performing weddings. Part 1 of 3.
- Name three of the reasons for having a premarriage preparation program that you think are the most important. Why did you choose those three?
- The speaker says premarital counseling can provide a valuable opportunity for evangelism. Why is this? How would you handle a situation where one of the individuals becomes a Christian during premarital counseling? Should you go ahead and marry them or not? What if the other partner feigns becoming a Christian?
- How valuable would it be to have a 6- or 12-month check up with the couple after they are married? What kinds of things or questions would be good to discuss with them at that time?
- Do a survey of at least three others who have performed premarital counseling to find out what resources they use.
