Just as in weeks 1-2, now is the time for you to articulate clearly ideas surrounding biblical marriage.  Using Scripture, our course text, and other research, we are now asking you to give some substantive thought to the essential markers of Christian marriage.
Please note that this assignment exercise may well be the foundational seeds of your most influential thought in this course.  The greatest gift one can give children is to model a healthy marriage, because “modeling is the strongest form of teaching” (Dr. Richard D. Dobbins).  So if this is true, you are encouraged to think deeply about those characteristics you feel are foundational to a biblical marriage.

• Write a 1 page, double spaced assignment entry on characteristics which are fundamental to a biblical understanding of marriage.  In other words, what essential components comprise a biblical marriage?
