I need to find a Bible Study that will help me to fall back in love with my husband?
I’m looking specifically for a Bible Study that will help me feel my commitment to my husband again. I would prefer if it was an actual book that I could order but I would be willing to do an online Bible study as well. Thanks
I’d lilke to add that it always surprises me that people who don’t consider themselves religious or who don’t read the Bible will even answer a question about this topic and try to tell me that I’m wrong for how I feel. Why does it matter to you that I beleive in God and read the Bible?
another thing…I recently used a Bible study to help me get over the loss of a child. It helped me tremendously, more than any other counselling or books etc.
I already LOVE my husband, and this is my method to make our marriage stronger. We’ve been through something difficult (loss of a baby) and now it’s time to work on the marriage.
thanks to all those who answered my question.

They have a wonderful book/audio series called "Return to Intimacy" that may be worth looking into. They also have a series called "Marriage on the Rock" which has great material to build or rebuild the foundation of your relationship with your husband.

Ask the local Jehovah’s Witnesses for a free copy of the book "The Secret of Family Happiness"
That book has worked wonders for many people. Everything is Bible-based.
***South Africa: Thandi, a Witness, was asked by her employer to speak to a workmate named Bella, who was having marital problems. Bella’s husband, a policeman, had abused her physically and emotionally, so she had decided to divorce him. Thandi gave Bella two copies of the book The Secret of Family Happiness and encouraged her to give one to her husband. A week later, Thandi spoke to her and found out that her husband was reading the book and that their home had become peaceful. Three months later, Bella told Thandi that God had saved her marriage by means of prayer and the Family Happiness book. When Bella’s employer heard about this, she recommended that all 2,000 staff members get copies of the book. So far, Thandi has placed 96 Family Happiness books with fellow employees.
***While engaged in telephone witnessing, a full-time minister in Ethiopia was startled when she spoke to a man but heard a commotion in the background. The man asked her to call back later. When she did, he apologized and said that at the time of her earlier call, he and his wife were in the middle of a heated quarrel. The sister used this remark as an opportunity to point to the wise guidance the Bible gives for handling family problems. She told him that many families had been helped by The Secret of Family Happiness, a book published by Jehovah’s Witnesses. A few days after the book was delivered, the sister telephoned the man again. He exclaimed: “This book has saved my marriage!” In fact, he had held a family meeting so as to pass on the good points he had read in the book. A home Bible study was started, and soon the man began to attend Christian meetings regularly.
****The following letter was left at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
“Dear Messenger:
“I am writing to thank the person that probably unknowingly created a miracle in my life.
“A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I were in a heated argument. I had just said the words, ‘This is so big that I really don’t know if I can get over it.’ Right then the doorbell rang. Now I had one of Jehovah’s Witnesses at my door, and it was too late to hide.
“When I opened the door, I was really too distracted to hear what was being said. I do remember the words ‘children’ and ‘family.’ The man pulled out a book called The Secret of Family Happiness. When I saw the title, I just started to cry and couldn’t stop. He looked up, and then he apologized for disturbing me, handed me the book, and left.
“The miracle? The reminder that when I don’t know what to do, it’s OK because God knows. My trust needs to be in God. He even sends a messenger. Thank you.”
The book The Secret of Family Happiness can benefit every member of the family. Among its instructive chapters are “Protect Your Family From Destructive Influences,” “Maintain Peace in Your Household,” and “You Can Overcome Problems That Damage a Family.”
***In South Africa a woman who is one of Jehovah’s Witnesses heard that her employer and her employer’s husband were thinking of getting a divorce. The Witness spoke to her boss about God’s view of marriage and showed her a book entitled The Secret of Family Happiness. This book, published by Jehovah’s Witnesses, highlights the Bible principles that apply to marriage, laying particular stress on how the Bible helps couples to solve problems. The employer and her husband both read the book and tried sincerely to apply the Bible counsel it presented. As a result, they decided not to get a divorce—another marriage saved by the application of Bible principles.
***A woman from the North Island of New Zealand wrote concerning the book The Secret of Family Happiness: “When I first sat down to study the publication, I felt as if my marriage was at a point where I could either ‘make it or break it.’”
She explained her background. “My mother had been through two very abusive marriages. As a result, we were always taught that men were nothing and that they were only out to oppress women. So I grew up a very stubborn, headstrong woman who would not back down from an argument.”
The woman recognized the need for changes. “I realized that because of not being in subjection to my husband and because I was too proud, I was giving up the chance for family happiness.” So she made vital adjustments, as she explains: “My husband and I are now studying the book as a family, and I’m still learning how to be a Christian wife. We are very happy with where we are now but still have a long way to go.
“Our home has never been as loving and peaceful as it is today.”
do you think you can just "fall in love" on command…?
thats pretty sad. and its even more sad that you are so afraid of religion that it controls your happiness.
How about you two talk, spend time together, and make a commitment to achieve those things? Nothing can "make" you or he feel a certain way; you have to do that on your own.
it’s not the bible that will do it for you… life has laws, and those are the laws of nature…. what do we do in nature to make this occur… romance your husband.. you would be better off looking for a book that would teach you how to do that.
Self second is "love". It’s simple. don’t need to study.
Funny how you didn’t mention "God" in that.
Doesn’t matter if you attended a hundred Bible studies. If God is uninvolved, you’re going nowhere.
Two good books are Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman
youre joking right?
You cant simply be told to fall in love with somone – Ive made enough fat ugly birds cry to know that much.
Pull yourself together woman – if you dont love them anymore, then there is no point in being married – remember god sees everything (apparently), so he will know you are lying – and thats a sin right.
Although you are only exercising your emotional free will, and he gave you that when he created you, so you are only sinning as a result of his actions AND OH MY GOD, RELIGIUZ PARADOX…
EEEEEE¬!!!!!
DOES NOT COMPUTE
Last week I watched a great study/seminar on a Christian channel. It was a part of a series, and it was at Jack Hayford’s church. I can’t remember the exact name.
Google Jack Hayford, etc.
What I saw was really good and uplifting to me (my feelings toward my husband).
EDIT:
Child of God (below) has the answer; I mean, that is who I was watching on TV. Jimmy and Karen Evans, really good.
.
Well, first of all, your model for marital love is Jesus Christ. Love your husband as Christ loved you. That means giving of yourself.
As for practical advice in the Christian tradition I would highly recommend "For Better Forever" by Gregory K. Popcak.
Pax Vobiscum+
Read the Book of Solomon in your bible. In particular, the Song of Solomon. If that doesn’t work, nothing will!
If your love for your husband is reclaimable, it should be acheived between you and him. Take some time to talk about what’s bothering each of you, and make an action plan to try to work on those issues. No book can help you change how you feel in a relationship. Only your partner can do that.
I wish you the best of luck and many happy years of marriage.
Forget that Mormon mumbo jumbo that someone said about….what really works is for you both to have an affair. You both should sleep with other people then tell each other all about it….You will then grow together. My wife and I do this technique twice a week. We are ecstatic about our marriage.
I appreciate your desire to move into a better relationship with your husband. However, your question has an obvious inconsistency that you may wish to consider in further detail. Therefore, I am not going to give you a reference, but suggest that you reconsider your how to pursue your quest in light of this new information
You state that you would like to feel your commitment to your husband. I understand real commitment to be an act of the will, not an emotion. If you are looking for a good feeling towards your husband, that is different (and, he must be an active participant in improving the relationship between the two of you.)
Consider the 1 Corinthians 13 definition of love – it does not always feel good. Verse 3 starts out "Love suffers long and is kind." The definition ends in verse 7 stating, "Love believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." Biblical love is not primarily based on emotions, but on an act of the will. Biblical love must include some element of faith – the subtance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.
There is another area that you may not have considered. I went to a conference on this subject and one of the points that came out was the most difficult thing for husband is to love the wife and for wife is to respect the husband. I would suggest that you include in your search for a better relationship an effort to increase respect for your husband. This conference claimed that as you do this, that will motivate him to love you more and it will become a positive reinforcing cycle.
I realize that this answer is not what you were looking for, but hopefully it will help you in your journey. May God will bless your efforts to improve the relationship between you and your husband.
“Bible Study that will help me to fall back in love with my husband?” It’s a nice move to save a marriage. But please bare in mind that don’t just depend on it. Mainstay Ministries You need to do something in addition to the Bible study. It’s just a matter of theory and practice.
