Boot Camp For The Married Woman's Soul

Several years ago I was asked this question by a woman during a question and answer period following a lecture I had just given, "What do you think is the greatest problem women in the church have?"

Immediately a verse came to mind, "...Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?" 2 Kings 4:26. My reply began with this verse, it was as if I didn't need to say another word!

Women often struggle in their marriages for a variety of reasons. Whether it's an issue with attitude, an undisciplined thought life, forgiveness, respect, intimacy, or simply not understanding their significance to their husbands'; women are increasingly becoming discouraged, feeling lost, and losing hope in their marriages, and it doesn't have to be this way! These types of struggles are not only avoidable but can be overcome.

I was inspired to write these lessons in 2007 to help married women recapture, reconnect, and redirect their approach to biblical marriage. Boot Camp For The Married Woman's Soul is a set of eight lessons. Each lesson is designed to be done over a two week period but can be done in weekly sessions. You will be challenged by tough questions you probably have never asked yourself before. You will be given insightful perspectives that are unique to both men and women. You will also have practical daily homework that will help you incorporate into your marriage relationship what you have just learned.

If you have an interest in these lessons or would like to participate in the next study session you can find Christi and Boot Camp For The Married Woman's Soul on Facebook or email: larchrissteve@aol.com

LESSON TOPICS

Lesson One “Reality!”

This lesson digs deep into the importance of a woman’s thought life. What a woman thinks plays a real-life role in all of her relationships, but no more importantly than in her marriage! You will learn step-by-step practical instruction on how to train your thoughts to be in agreement with God's Word. This is truly life changing!

Lesson Two “Blessings”

Discover the real and powerful blessings God pours out on marriage, as well as how a woman can literally bless her own husband. Too often this is a neglected and forgotten aspect of Christian marriage. You will also learn how to connect the hallmarks of your Christian faith to your relationship with your husband.

Lesson Three “Your Body Is Not Your Own”

Intimacy is an important and powerful component in marriage that can easily get off track. This lesson exposes attitudes and misunderstandings that undermine intimacy in marriage. These insights can be very helpful towards encouraging and restoring marital intimacy.

Lesson Four “The Submissive Wife, Get Real!”

Biblical submission can be so misunderstood. This lesson gets real and looks at biblical submission from a unique perspective that many Christian women miss. There is much gain for the submissive wife!

Lesson Five “Raise The Bar And Don’t Cross Those Lines”

There are certain lines that should never be crossed in marriage and yet often women are either unaware or they simply don’t care anymore about these basics in marriage. This lesson covers those areas and deals very specifically with “raising the bar” of a woman’s personal integrity in her marriage.

Lesson Six “Commitment And Loyalty”

Commitment and loyalty are two essentials in marriage that build a foundation of trust and a lifetime of fidelity. These essentials take place in a woman’s mind and in the choices that she makes everyday.

Lesson Seven “Forgetting What Lies Behind”

Disappointments are real and have a real impact on the marriage relationship. Whether an event occurred or a dream is never realized; moving forward can become impossible if a woman cannot let go of what lies behind. This lesson gives unique biblical insights and practical instruction.

Lesson Eight "What Have You Gained?"
This last lesson is a review of all seven Boot Camp Sessions.

Testimonials and Reviews

"There is no doubt that the institution of marriage is under attack. This study is the best one that I have ever done on this subject. It cuts to the heart of the matter and addresses the root causes of conflict and trouble in marriage. I heartily recommend it! If you would like insight into your marriage and would like to strengthen and enhance your relationship with your husband, Boot Camp For The Married Woman’s Soul, will help you reach those goals."

Georgia Riojas

Women's Ministry Leader, Worship Leader

“…When we stopped sanctifying marriage, we began treating it like an accessory - something that I want, but if I tire of it in a few years - viola! - I can be single again…We need to gut-check ourselves and make sure we're thinking clearly on these issues. One way to do that is through this study. Boot Camp For The Married Women's Soul, does so much in restoring the concept of sacredness to marriage. I know I was deeply blessed by my wife as she attended. She makes me proud to be married to her. If you've not been through this study yet, I highly encourage you to attend!”

Lenny Esposito, Apologist

President, Come Reason Ministries

“...We live in a time when marriage is held with so little regard that over half of all marriages end in divorce. And this fact is equally true in Christian marriages. This should not be so! Would you begin by asking the Lord to give you a greater perspective of His view of marriage; and would you make a personal commitment to love the institution of marriage as He does and to hate divorce as He does? Boot Camp For The Married Woman's Soul, will help you do just that!”

Mentoring Matters

“I am so thankful God led me to Boot Camp For The Married Woman’s Soul. I hadn't realized how out of shape my heart was! I’ve done other marriage Bible studies and this is the first one to really dig deep into a woman’s heart. God spoke to me through this study about reigning in my thought life; obeying the Lord in every situation and trusting Him to work things out according to His plan. I recommend this study for every married woman!”
