Equipping Wives Using Biblical Counseling Principles at Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Fairmont, Minnesota

Abstract

This project aimed to equip wives using biblical counseling principles at Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Fairmont, Minnesota. Chapter 1 presents the reasoning for actualizing the project. Marriage, even among Christians, needs addressing. Chapter 2 provides the biblical and theological basis for the project. It discusses God’s design of marriage, biblical submission for wives, and offers wives biblical support to forgive their husbands. Chapter 3 provides the practical implications of biblical counseling to help wives and their marriages by (1) reminding wives to acknowledge God’s intention for marriage, (2) demonstrating practical ways to please the Lord in submission to her husband, and (3) encouraging wives to extend forgiveness to her husband. Chapter 4 describes the preparation for the project, the actualization of the project, and the follow up after the project. Chapter 5 assessed that the goals I gave the project were achieved. All the goals were met, demonstrating the successful completion of the project.
