Michael Mouawad•qorbono.com

Marriage is a treasure hidden in Scripture, waiting to be uncovered. Whether you are single, engaged, newly married, or have journeyed through decades of matrimony, this Bible study is for you. This series supplements "The Seven Percent," a five-talk series that delves into the secrets of happy, natural, and sacramental marriage. Seven Percent focused on the structure of marriage. In this series, we explore marriage through the lens of Scripture—its beauty, trials, and deeper purpose in God’s plan.
