Week 8

Mission, legacy, and continuation

What is our marriage for?

Explore shared meaning, service, hospitality, faith, legacy, and the story a couple is building together.

01

What this lesson is about

Explore shared meaning, service, hospitality, faith, legacy, and the story a couple is building together.

02

Practice it at home

Write a short marriage mission statement: “As God gives us grace, our marriage will…”. Make it specific enough to guide a decision.

Prepare first. Choose a calm time, silence notifications, and agree that either spouse may pause. The goal is honest connection, not a perfect conversation.

03

Talk together

  • What do we hope our marriage gives to others?
  • Which values should shape our next season?
  • What decision would become clearer if we remembered our shared mission?

04

Carry one small habit

Pray once a week for the mission you share.

Joshua 24:15 · Deuteronomy 6:6–7

Scripture anchor for reflection
Stop if this creates fear. No lesson should be used to force disclosure, sexual activity, forgiveness, reconciliation, or continued cohabitation. If either spouse feels afraid, trapped, monitored, coerced, or unable to answer freely, stop joint work and seek confidential specialized support through the safety pathway.
