    About this ebook

    A marriage gets stronger when you invite God into it.

    A companion study to Tony and Lauren Dungy’s popular book Uncommon Marriage, this 5-week guide for couples or small groups delves into Scripture to explore the blessings and challenges couples face today. Drawing on biblical truths and their own personal experiences, Tony and Lauren share the importance of making time for each other, resolving conflict well, staying strong and committed through difficult times, coping with changes and big decisions, praying together, building a spiritual foundation for your family, and more. The Uncommon Marriage Bible Study will help equip your marriage to survive tough issues and flourish with joy, purpose, and partnership—in other words, to be a marriage that is truly uncommon. The book also includes icebreakers for groups, a leader’s guide, and links to free resources for churches.

      Uncommon Marriage Bible Study - Tony Dungy

      HOW TO USE THIS BIBLE STUDY

      This five-week study is designed to be used in a variety of ways: in a small group setting, in a men’s or women’s study, in conjunction with a church-wide campaign, or one-on-one with your spouse.

      To get the most out of this study, you will need a Bible and the book Uncommon Marriage, which tells the story of the Dungys’ marriage and provides the context for the questions and discussion topics in this book. (Please note that the chapter numbers that follow quotes from Tony and Lauren in this study tell you where to find that passage in Uncommon Marriage.)

      Although the book and the study can be used separately, you will benefit most from the experience if you use these resources in conjunction. This study includes suggested readings from Uncommon Marriage to correspond with each week’s session.

      Here are a few ideas about how you can implement this Bible study in a variety of contexts.

      IN A COUPLES’ SMALL GROUP

      dingbat

      You may want to participate in this study with a small group, with several sets of friends, or with a Sunday school class. The ideal group size is three to six couples, but depending on the format of your group, you could also meet as a larger group for part of the discussion and then break into smaller groups for sharing and prayer. Some groups meet on a weekly basis; others find it works better to meet every other week. You can determine the schedule that best suits the needs of your group.

      IN A MEN’S OR WOMEN’S STUDY

      dingbat

      Another option is to go through this study in an all-men’s or an all-women’s small group. This approach may be a good option for gender-specific classes that meet in churches or for informal groups of friends. Additional content specific to men and women is available online at coachdungy.com.

      AS A CHURCH

      dingbat

      If you are interested in using Uncommon Marriage as a church-wide campaign, go to coachdungy.com, where you can access information and resources to help you implement this series at your church. You’ll find sermon notes, tips for leaders, promotional materials, and video trailers so your entire congregation can focus on building healthy marriages as a community.

      AS A COUPLE

      dingbat

      You may want to go through this study one-on-one with your spouse. The content is relevant regardless of the stage of your relationship—whether you’ve been married for years, are newlyweds, or are engaged to be married. It may be helpful to set aside specific times to discuss the questions to ensure that you have a chance to engage with the material together.

      WHAT EACH SESSION INCLUDES

      dingbat

      Before Your Session: Tells you which chapters to read in Uncommon Marriage and informs you of anything else you need to do to prepare for the session.

      Getting Started: Offers an icebreaker to spark conversation and set a comfortable tone for group meetings.

      Building an Uncommon Marriage: Guides your group through discussion questions based on the Dungys’ experiences and the book Uncommon Marriage.

      Looking at God’s Word: Provides relevant Scripture verses to help you understand and apply what God says about the topics addressed in the session.

      Wrapping Up: Helps you focus on takeaway points you want to remember and apply in the week ahead.

      On Your Own: Gives you and your spouse connecting points and questions to discuss after the session.

      May God work in these
