This Bible study guide has been created for the congregation of The Well Shrewsbury. It is designed for anyone thinking about marriage or already in one — single or married, new believer or well-established in faith. The series begins with foundations and builds through to the practical realities of everyday married life.

Each lesson goes deep on one question so that the truth has time to take root. Here is how each lesson is structured:

Who this guide is not for

This series is not designed for someone in an immediate pastoral or personal crisis who needs one-to-one care before engaging with group study. It is not a replacement for pastoral support or professional help. If you are experiencing something that requires urgent support, please speak with your church leaders first.

The approach throughout is accessible and pastoral rather than academically scholarly. It addresses sincere disagreements among Christians honestly where they arise, and points you toward your church leaders for further conversation on those areas.

This study is based on the Discipleship Evangelism Programme by Andrew Wommack and Don W. Krow, courtesy of delessons.org, used with permission for discipleship purposes, free of charge. All scripture quotations are from the New King James Version (NKJV) unless otherwise indicated.
