Starting out with the most basic information on what it means to be human, it goes on to teach how to be relationally effective as a male or a female. Many people have used this workbook with great value in private study, small group study or as a follow up tool to our seminars. The workbook is unusual in that it develops biblical passages as a means to illuminate our humanity, and God’s intention that couples and singles learn how to become part of interdependent relationships. Relationships contains 6 chapters with 5 readings in each chapter. It can be used over a 6 week period, or for more in depth study it can be used over a 30 week period using one reading per week.
CHAPTER 1 Humanity's Creation Explore what it means to be human. See how
God created the world and the great purpose He gave humanity as the
pinnacle of His creation. Look at God’s original intent for
man and woman. Examine how He intended woman and man to work
together as an interdependent team, as “one flesh”. See the challenge that God allowed to come upon this interdependent team. With that challenge, the team failed. In their failure are many valuable lessons for us to learn. The greatest lesson is that God should be trusted. CHAPTER 3 Ineffective Communication Patterns In Genesis 3 and in life, four negative miscommunication patterns appear again and again: blaming, placating, rationalizing, and distracting. They are responses to powerful emotions within. CHAPTER 4 Healthy Communication Discover that effective communication describes what is going on inside of us, and that it is shared for the other person’s benefit. It is balanced by our own sympathetic listening to the other person. CHAPTER 5 What Is Headship? Discover that the New Testament teaching of the Headship of the male in marriage relationships is a powerful extension of the Old Testament teaching that the wife is the great helper, or Azer, like unto God. CHAPTER 6 The Art of Forgiveness In human relationships forgiveness is a necessity to sustain a friendship with a spouse or any other friend. This forgiveness is not only important relationally, it is important to God.
