I’m kind of at a loss with this one.

Dear Class Member,

Thank you for signing up for the LifeStudy Class: “So You Think You Are Married.” I am truly looking forward to our time together over these next six weeks.

Here is the basic info regarding our class:

So you think you are married
Tuesday evenings from March 29 through May 4, 2011
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Auditorium
[REDACTED]

The focus of the class is to get you and your spouse the path towards a vibrant, God-honoring marriage. We will be using your Bible, your Arno Profile, and the book entitled So You Think You Are Married … Ten Tips On How To Live Like It. Due to a mix up with the publisher the books may not be in by the first class. With the tremendous response to the class being what it is I am not surprised that there are some acts to prevent God’s blessings from happening, but we press on.

The classes will be a combination of lecture, multi-media, and break-out sessions. The main focus is to challenge each of us to allow ourselves new ways to think and behave in our marriages. We will grow together in creating marriages that are beyond mediocre.

To that end, here’s what we can all do to help make this experience as fruitful and productive as possible.

1) Please arrive on time. The class begins at 7 PM sharp. By 7 PM please be in your seat and ready to start. I realize that we all have busy schedules and there may be times when you will show up late - that’s fine. Just slip in and grab a seat. At the same time, for those of who arrive on time, let’s start on time. My commitment back to you is to end on time at 8:30 PM. We will take a brief break during each class.

2) Bring a Bible and a pen along with your Arno Profile. We will supply you with a binder that has outline information and a place to make notes.

3) Be committed to the possibility of change. What makes this class work best is when we all anticipate some life changing opportunities.

4) Help me help you. This class is for you! If something isn’t working, isn’t clear or is missing, let me know!

5) Pray. Let’s all arrive knowing our time has been drenched in prayer. That we have called upon the Holy Spirit to make this time His time with us. So please, as a couple pray for me, pray for our classmates and pray for your own growth. We can’t have too much prayer.

Until then, should you need any more information, please contact [REDACTED]

See you on the 29th!

Be blessed and know it,
[REDACTED]

I really don’t know what to say about this one, especially when it comes to the concept. “So You Think You Are Married…Ten Tips On How To Live Like It”? I don’t know what ten tips these might be. From what I understand about marriage, it’s a pretty simple process:

Step one: Get married.
Step two: Live together
Step three: Don’t be a dick.

I’m not married or God-fearing, though. So I’ll just chalk this up as something beyond my ken.
