I Do: A grace-Filled Guide to New Covenant Marriage - Paperback

by Jeannine de Swardt (Author)

Are you engaged and longing for a marriage built on grace instead of pressure and performance?

I Do - A Grace-Filled Guide to New Covenant Marriage is a warm, practical premarital mentorship resource that helps engaged couples lay a strong, Christ-centered foundation - resting in Jesus' finished work rather than striving to earn God's favor.

Instead of rigid rules or old-covenant checklists, this interactive guide invites you to discover marriage as a beautiful covenant of grace. You'll learn what it truly means to be "heirs together of the grace of life" (1 Peter 3:7) and how the Holy Spirit naturally produces the love, joy, and oneness you desire.

Through nine engaging sessions, you'll explore:

• What marriage really is in God's eyes
• The heart of real love and how to make it last
• Renewing your attitude under grace
• Communicating clearly when "he speaks male and she speaks female"
• Celebrating God-given differences without frustration
• Fighting fair and resolving conflict while staying in the ring
• Leaving and cleaving to form a new family unit
• Stewarding finances with cheerful generosity (including practical budgeting tools)
• And the beautiful gift of marital intimacy behind closed doors

Each session includes real-life stories, discussion questions, simple exercises, and gentle prayer prompts that keep Jesus at the center. Whether you're preparing on your own, with your fiancé, or with a mentor couple, this guide offers a refreshing, grace-saturated path to marriage.

Perfect for engaged couples, premarital counseling, or church mentoring programs, I Do equips you to step into marriage with confidence, freedom, and eyes fixed on the One who has already provided everything you need.

Start building the grace-filled marriage God designed for you - one restful step at a time.
