Description
Session 1
Foundational Principles of Messianic Marriage
In Genesis 1:26–28, we learn that with our creation by God came principles for wholesome relationships. These relationships are intended to reveal His image and likeness through our lives and marriages. Before we address marriage in the context of humanity’s creation, Sam Nadler will first place it in the biblical context of creation itself.

Session 2
Foundational Preparation for Messianic Marriage
Sam Nadler notes that in Genesis 2:1-22, we’re introduced to God’s Covenant name. (The LORD God.) Marriage is given in a covenant context. The importance of a covenant relationship with God and with our spouse is that we know our boundaries, promises, and provisions in our relationship to God and in our marriages.

Session 3
Foundational Priorities for Messianic Marriage
God is relational, and He created us to be like Him. Sam Nadler shows us from Genesis 2:22-25, is that our purpose is to relate to others, and that relating well is the fulfillment of God’s original design for us.

Session 4
Foundational Precautions in Messianic Marriage
As Sam Nadler leads us through Genesis 3, we see how Scripture reveals the impact on marriage after sin corrupts the first couple. Scripture instructs us how to avoid Adam and Eve’s disobedient mistakes.

Session 5
The Spirit-Filled Marriage
Using Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 11, Sam Nadler shows us how marriage can be restored to God’s design. Each believer has a responsibility and Spirit-filled ability to edify his/her spouse, family, and congregation. This happens when we apply Yeshua’s teaching in John 13:17—”If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.”

Session 6
The Triumphant Spouse in a Troubled Marriage
In this practical session, Sam Nadler urges our practical application of concepts taught 1 Peter—a book written to believers going through adversity and suffering. We realize that our personal sufficiency cannot secure us, but by His grace alone as can thrive.

Who would benefit from this course?
It is for every age and stage of marriage! Newlyweds, oldie-weds, engaged couples, couples considering marriage, those wanting to prepare for eventual marriage, and counselors. However, the principles Sam teaches apply to anybody involved in any kind of human relationship!
What is the structure of the seminar?
The Messianic Marriage Matters conference consists of six sessions which are approximately 1 hour per video.
Each video contains roughly 50 minutes of teaching by Sam Nadler and is followed by 10 minutes of Q&A with the audience.
In the live conference, Sam gave couples (or singles + their mentors) 30 minutes of time to discuss the questions, and they only had time to cover a few of the topics.
Does each individual need a textbook?
Many couples DO want their own book so they can write their own notes. At the very least, have one shared book per couple.
The book contains more information than Sam had time to cover during the conference and will be a great resource for the future.
It also contains the questions for discussion.
Is it ok if I pass the videos along to others who would benefit?
Please do not. Word of Messiah is a faith-based ministry. Your purchase of this video series and the books helps us to continue doing the work God has called us to do.
Please refer anyone else interested to our website information on the marriage conference ministry: www.wordofmessiah.org/marriage-conferences.

Anything else I should know?
If you liken your attending a marriage conference to getting your yearly physical or doing maintenance on your car, you will see the benefit of taking this course again. We would love to see you at one of our conferences in the future!
Can I ask questions or give feedback?

“We have been married 33 years and wish we would have received this kind of instruction prior to getting married, it would have helped with the excess baggage we brought into the marriage. We both came from broken homes where our fathers walked out on our mothers for other woman, so neither of us had a godly male role model in our lives. We worked through many of our struggles with Adonai’s grace in Messiah Yeshua. My husband and I plan on going over the book weekly as well do study the details.”

Discover how to reclaim the joy, peace, and grace God intended for us to enjoy with one another.
From the comfort of your own home, and in the relaxed atmosphere of the interactive Restored to Our Original Design conference, Sam Nadler will challenge you to a view of the bigger picture of what marriage means – in the family unit, in the congregation, in society at large, and in the eyes of God.
This course will address the critical questions that need to be discussed in every marriage, as well as relationships in general:
✡ Back to Basics: What constitutes a healthy relationship? How do you feed and develop yourself and your marriage spiritually?
✡ A Clean Slate: Are you complying with the Holy Spirit so you can lose the resenment, unforgiveness, and disrespect you may be harboring in your heart?
✡ Annoyances and Contention Triggers: Have you stopped appreciating the Giver of the gift (your spouse), and therefore have stopped appreciating the gift you’ve been given in your spouse?
✡ Communicate and Reciprocate: What areas are you discussing/not discussing together? Are there areas where you are fearful of God?
✡ Grow and Flourish: What decisions are you making by God’s Word, and which ones do you fudge by your own reasoning? Are there spiritual battles you are facing? Are there areas of service that you resent? Have you bought into the World’s standards for marriage (perhaps without even knowing it?)
…and much, much, more!
The course includes:
✡ Over 6 hours of instruction/interaction on the topic of growing and flourishing in a healthy marriage centered around God.
