 Introducing the FMU Success Prep Study Guide Three Part Series: TOP10 Marriage Tips For Smart Singles. This teach-out-of-the-box program covers ten personal growth areas critical to success in relationships in general – and the success of marriage in particular. Most people won’t focus on the issues outlined in these study guides until after marriage; or divorce – or their second or third marriage. That’s because it often takes that long be fore they realize they have issues with these – ah – issues. And they finally get tired of being tripped up by them. Instead, this TOP10 series empowers singles to discover where they need to learn and grow and change now to be ready for the awesome calling of marriage then.
About the author:
Since 2003, Michael Johnson and his wife, Julie, have pursued a unique passion to prepare smart singles for success in their future marriage – way in advance of engagement and, preferably, ahead of a serious dating relationship. What started out in their living room as a series of small group studies, has grown into Future Marriage University, an organization that empowers college and career age singles across the US to prepare for marriage like a successful career: intentionally, intelligently and IN ADVANCE! Michael & Julie have been members of Strong Tower Bible Church since 2002 and reside outside of Nashville, Tennessee with their five children.

When you get behind the wheel of a car, it usually means you’re going somewhere; you have a destination. Yet in our directionless dating culture, romantic relationships are like a series of “joy rides” where the “joy” ends after you run out of gas – or overheat the engine. At best, you’re wasting time, money and energy. At worst, you’re permanently damaging your relational motor (your heart) and you only get one of those. Does this sound like the way to get the most out of life?
This study guide will focus on what we call “The Three Learns,” three competencies you need to get a good hold of before you pursue marriage. Keep in mind, these are life lessons that will take a lifetime to conquer. You’re not going to have them all sewed up by the end of this 8-week course, but you’ll be miles ahead of most people just because you’re striving to learn. Many people stagnate at some level with each of these issues, but when they do, they pay the price; and when they get married their marriage pays the price. Sometimes that price is divorce. At the very least, it’s major marital dissatisfaction. If you’re a smart single, you’d rather exert the effort to pursue maturity in these areas now and set your future marriage up for success.

This study guide introduces the three “gets,” habits you’ve likely been encouraged to develop in the past, but lacked the motivation. However, when you discover the essential role these three disciplines play in establishing a life-giving, life-long marriage, you may find the inspiration you’ve been looking for. Amongst other benefits, the three “gets” will provide a sound marital blueprint for a strong marriage, establish the mindset necessary for thriving in marriage, and help you grow in the invaluable skill of communication.

Here's what Christian leaders are saying... “I’ve spent many hours talking to my friend Michael Johnson about his passion to see singles better equipped to forge a lifelong, love filled marriage. A lot of smart singles have already benefitted from his coaching. Now you can too.” – Bob Lepine, Co-Host, FamilyLife Today www.familylife.com "Future Marriage University is a primer to prevent divorce. Michael Johnson has creatively blended together humor and solid content to help young singles prepare for a successful marriage. I recommend this program and commend his efforts as a leader in pre-marital education.” - Ken R. Canfield PhD, Director of the Center for the Family Pepperdine University http://family.pepperdine.edu/ “Michael obviously has a heart to help singles see the importance of thinking well about marriage preparation. I believe FMU provides much-needed biblical perspective for Christian singles who wish to honor God in their relationships, and am glad to see God using the ministry in powerful ways. ” – John Fuller, Christian broadcaster “Michael is one of the few people who has built an approach to marriage preparation that focuses on an individual's spiritual foundation long before one actually is involved in a relationship that might lead to marriage. I commend him to any who are serious about building a healthy, lasting, graceful marriage." – Dr. John Conger, Professor of Family and Consumer Sciences Lipscomb University www.Lipscomb.edu “As a single person, why am I embarrassed to read a book on marriage? If we prepare for careers with schooling and internships, why would we deny ourselves the same for marriage? Michael and Julie’s passion to inform and equip in a biblical and real way, allows people to embrace the idea of who they want to be and what marriage will look like when it comes. We desperately need this.” – Joy Eggerichs - Love and Respect Ministries www.loveandrespect.com "Michael brings an important message that students are hungry to hear. His engaging, heartfelt and playful style draws students in and his use of biblical truth serves to re/shape how this generation understands God, relationships and self." – Guy Chmieleski,
Founder of www.FaithOnCampus.com, “Finally! A tool that addresses the important issues usually saved for post-marriage books! Every person considering dating and marriage should read this! This workbook reveals the truth behind building a marriage that will last by preparing NOW for what is ahead. For every person looking for a book on ‘dating,’ this is it! “ – Nikki Rutz, Co-Founder/President of Lily7 www.Lily7.org "Michael’s direction took students where they really needed to go by paths they would not have found by themselves. What a good guide! He helped set them on the path of forming relationships that will go the distance.” –Shawn Shannon, Director of Baptist Student Ministries, University Mary Hardin-Baylor www.umhb.edu “Michael & Julie have lead the charge in our church for advanced marriage training for singles BEFORE they fall in love. Michael is a uniquely gifted communicator; coaching college and career singles in the skills, knowledge and expectations essential for successful relationships –especially their future marriage. And he pulls this off with a hilariously entertaining, insightful and compelling approach. That must be why we’ve had several of our singles attend his classes and subsequently date and marry their mates, while others have remained single and thriving, applying the same principals in their current relationships.” – Daryl Fitzgerald, Family Pastor, Strong Tower Bible Church www.StrongTowerBibleChurch.com |
