Marriage Rx Instructional Content
The Marriage Rx workshops have been taught since 2011 at various locations. The full body of information contains eleven sessions. Notes and audio recordings can be found of that material on this site. Use the drop-down menu to access this valuable information.
The Marriage Rx textbook contains the first six sessions. It can be downloaded in digital form or purchased through Two Worlds Media in printed form. We recommend this textbook for all couples that want to know more about God’s original intent for the marriage union.
The Marriage Rx Workshop typically contains four sessions. It can be offered to your church or group by prior arrangement. We have found that a weekend retreat is ideal, although it works well if the sessions are given one each day. Contact us for more information about bringing a workshop or retreat to your group.
Small Group Information
Many people have expressed appreciation for the material published in Marriage Rx: Prescription for a radical marriage. The content is fresh and filled with truth, but the concepts are deep.
We recommend that you form or join a small group of people to go through this material together. We have designed material to help you activate the information and practice the principles on a chapter by chapter basis.
Commit to meeting together with two to five other couples. Download the instructions and begin your time with prayer. The exercises and discussion questions are specific to each chapter of the book, and those are broken down further into two to four meetings.
Budget 90 minutes for each small group session, and add a little time to the beginning if your group chooses to start with a meal or other community experience. At the end of each meeting spend some time in prayer for each other, as well.
We bless you to experience God’s fullness as you learn and grow together.
Workshop Opportunities
The Marriage Rx material has been prepared for workshop presentation. It has been designed for a couple’s retreat setting or for a church or group. The format is comprised of four (4) sessions of ninety (90) minutes each. They can be done in two days or more. Each teaching segment is presented by Calvin and Julie Tadema, and is filled with real life examples to help make the points. The question and answer time that follows is often entertaining and enlightening as well.
Session 1: One Flesh
Session 2: Naked and Unashamed
Session 3: Forgiven, Forgiving and Trust
Session 4: Kinds of Relating
