Training Pre-Married Couples at St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church in Fairfax, Virginia, With Biblical Marriage Principles

This project seeks to train pre-married couples at St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Fairfax, Virginia, with biblical marriage principles. Chapter 1 presents the history and ministry context of St. Mark’s and the goals of this project. Chapter 2 exegetes four passages of Scripture (Gen 2:18–24; Matt 19:6–9; Eph 5:22–33; 1 Cor 7:2– 5) to demonstrate God’s design and purposes for marriage. Chapter 3 provides an abundance of practical resources and support that highlight the power, effectiveness, and godliness of biblical marriage principles. Chapter 4 describes the project itself, recounting the content and teaching methodology of the specific course curriculum. Chapter 5 evaluates the efficacy of the project based on the completion of the specified goals. Ultimately, this project seeks to glorify God by helping couples learn principles that are God-honoring, edifying, and purposeful through God’s design for and gift of marriage.
