Marriage and Family
Venue: On campus
Time: Friday 9.00 am – 12.00 pm
Lecturer: Rev Dr Tony Lim (B.Th., Th.L(Hons), MTS, DMin)
This course lays down the basic theological foundation and pillars of marital and family life. The course seeks to lay down a biblically strong foundation to understand marriage and family. It builds on the foundation to explore how to build a strong marriage. Finally, it explores ways in building a strong family.
The course will further explore the traits and dynamics of strong and lasting marriages and families. Particular attention will be placed on our family of origins (Family Tree And History). It ends by exploring how to take care of our ageing parents when they can no longer care for themselves.
