IN A NUTSHELL Did the “family” evolve or did it have a designer?  Who wrote the rules?  What happens if someone breaks the rules? How does it’s design relate to our relationship with God?    

 ICE BREAKER   If there were no concept of family...how would your life be different? Think hard, every aspect of life… how would it be different?

 HIS WORD

1. Does the Bible seem to be conclusive that the family, a monogamous husband and wife, having children, was instituted intentionally, at the outset of creation, and for a purpose?

2. What was it that created the need for Moses to authorize a bill of divorce”?

3. What is the cosmic picture illustrated by the earthly relationship of a man and a woman?

 YOUR WORLD

1. Who is your favorite “model” for having a good marriage?  Have you told them lately what that means to you?

3. Who has God put in your path that you might be able to mentor?

4. Does your marriage look more like something God has purposely designed or more like something that is just coasting/evolvoing?

 SMALL PIECES

1. What relationships in your life are just “evolving” from some random actions of self-promotion or self-preservation?

 BIG PICTURE

1. If God is the designer and he has a cosmic reason for Man and Woman to be together, then what does that say about other formats the world wants to call "family"?
