Class Description

Stuart and Sheri Sherrill

Textbook

Marriage on the Rock by Jimmy Evans

Pre-class Assignment

Sheri and I are excited about this class. The grade for this class comes from three assignments:

 1. Read — Marriage on the Rock by Jimmy Evans. Copy and bring to class the statement or paragraph that impacts you the most from the book (positively or negatively) — 20% of grade.

 2. Write — a paper (minimum 2 pages) detailing your marriage job description. Base this on the Bible and your own ideas of what your priorities and characteristics should be (what does God expect of you; what does a spouse have the right to expect). Men write about a Christian husband; women write about a Christian wife. If you are not married, write about being a godly man or woman who pleases the Lord in your state of singleness (whether short-term or long-term) — 40% of grade.

 3. Pray — if married, pray with your spouse (or for them if they are not open to joint prayer) daily until the next class. This does not have to be long, but the goal is to agree with your spouse for his or her needs and and to bless. Ask God to help you be a better believer who understands and meets the needs of your spouse. If single, pray for the marriage relationships and families of people who are close to you — 40% of grade.

 Extra Credit: Email a picture of your wedding and a current picture of you and your spouse. Singles, a picture from early 20s and now. Widowed, a picture from your wedding would be great.
