The Bible Study

Philippians: A Bible Study for Couples

Growing together through God’s Word

Every marriage is shaped by something. Our prayer is that couples would continue to be shaped by God’s Word.

Whether you have been reading the Bible together for years or are just beginning, spending time in Scripture as a couple creates opportunities to grow in faith, encourage one another, and deepen your relationship.

Our vision is to create Bible studies that help couples engage deeply with Scripture, have meaningful conversations, and explore how God’s Word speaks into everyday married life.

Our first series takes couples through the book of Philippians. Written by the Apostle Paul to a church experiencing pressure and opposition, Philippians is a letter filled with joy, humility, unity, perseverance, and an unwavering focus on Christ. These themes remain just as relevant for couples today.

Marriage is often the smallest Christian community, and like the early church, it can experience its own pressures. Philippians reminds us of the importance of keeping Christ at the centre and allowing His Word to shape the way we love, serve, forgive, and encourage one another.

What to Expect

Each study is designed to help you:

Read and understand God’s Word together.

• Discover what the passage reveals about Christ.
• Have thoughtful and constructive conversations.
• Reflect on how Scripture applies to your relationship and everyday life.
• Build a habit of studying the Bible together.

Rather than offering quick relationship advice, these studies invite couples to let Scripture lead the conversation, trusting that God uses His Word to shape our hearts and relationships.

For Couples and Churches

The Philippians study has been designed to work in different settings.
Couples can complete the study together in the comfort of their own home, creating space to explore Scripture and talk through its meaning at their own pace.
It is also suitable for churches, small groups, and life groups who want to bring couples together to study God’s Word.
Group discussions focus on the Bible passage and broader principles for Christian relationships, creating a welcoming environment where everyone can participate without feeling pressured to share personal details.

Just for Us

Each study also includes a Just for Us section with questions designed specifically for couples to discuss privately.
These questions are intentionally separate from the group discussion, giving couples the opportunity to reflect honestly on their own relationship and consider how God’s Word applies to them personally.

Whether you discuss them on the journey home, over a meal, or later in the week, these conversations help connect what you have studied with everyday married life.

Help Us Test the Philippians Series

We are creating a four-part Bible study series for couples, working through the whole book of Philippians. The first study is now ready to be tested, and we are looking for couples to join us as we continue writing and refining the remaining studies.

By taking part, you will help us shape the series as it develops. We would love your honest feedback on the content, questions, discussions, and how the study works in real life for couples.
The studies are available free of charge for our tester couples. In return, we simply ask that you share your experience with us—what encouraged you, what helped create meaningful conversations, and where the study could be improved.
Whether you work through it at home as a couple or take part through a church or life group, your feedback will help us create a resource that genuinely serves couples as they explore God’s Word together.
