This manual was born out of the need to prepare intending Christian couples on what marriage is all about. As much as was possible, every tenet of marriage has been captured. Those to be prepared through these materials must live that marriage life for the glory of their God in Christ Jesus their Saviour. "My Tina and I used a good part of these materials in preparing some 130 couples for Christian marriage. May the Lord of glory, in Christ Jesus, use this material to help Christian Counsellors to prepare intending couples for marriages that will glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and spread His gospel". (Rev. Alfred G. Nyirenda). "May the Lord of glory use the contents of this book to enable Christian marriage counsellors to give biblically sound advice to those who are getting married or who are struggling in their marriages. May many marriages that would have ended up in separation or divorce be rescued because they were taught in the way many of us were taught by Alfred and Tina Nyirenda. May this result in stronger marriages, more stable families, sturdier churches, and better nations-to the glory of God". Dr. Conrad Mbewe
