God ordained and created marriage to be a joyous celebration that is to be reflective of the relationship
between Jesus Christ and His Church. Our marriages need to be gospel-centered to display this beautiful
majesty of marriage that God intends.
This is a Friday evening & half day Saturday seminar that will help to instill this God-centered, biblical
view of marriage. A variety of topics will be covered that are the most needed areas to address so that
this kind of God-glorifying marriage can be cultivated. These include:
This lays out the proper roles of the husband and wife in the marriage relationship –
this will be a key to the rest of the talks that are given.
- ”Resolving Conflict” (Matthew 7:1-5 and Galatians 6:1-5)
- ”Heartfelt Forgiveness” (20 areas that are crucial to forgiving others)
- ”Parenting as a Stewardship From God” (Being a good and godly parent)
- ”The Sexual Beauty of Marriage” (How to Improve the Sexual Relationship)
- ”Romance is Not Foreplay” (Romance in the marriage)
- All sessions will be presented with PowerPoint (Keynote) presentation
- Plenty of time for Q & A after each session
- We provide all handouts including a bound booklet with over 30 pages of notes
- Friday, 6:00 PM to 9 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM
"I have known Dr. David Edgington for a number of years and have come to respect his
pastoral insights, concerns, and biblical knowledge. When our church invited him to come and present
his 'Majesty of Marriage' Seminar, therefore, I was expecting good things. However, Dr. Edgington
wonderfully and abundantly exceeded my expectations. Simply put, this is the best marriage seminar
I have attended (and I've been to several very good ones). The teaching is solidly Christ-centred
and grounded in God's infallible word while interspersed with appropriate illustrations from his
vast experience of biblical counseling. Moreover, he adds warmth, charm, and good humour to his
teaching so there is never a dry moment nor do the hours ever seem to drag on and on. Sensitive
issues are dealt with faithfully and masterfully. Whether your marriage is struggling and hanging
on by a bare thread, or if it is strong and vibrant, there is plenty here to grow by, to be encouraged
by, and to gain hope by. Since we are so accustomed to a rating system, and if you are expecting such
things, then I would give this seminar a five out of four stars!
"Dr. David Edgington recently conducted a weekend seminar at our church entitled,
'The Majesty of Marriage'. It was, without a doubt, the most comprehensive and intensely practical
teaching on the Biblical pattern for marriage I have ever encountered. His emphasis on the centrality
of forgiveness was especially pertinent. I have been very encouraged to hear people in our church
continuing to discuss the conference material. We hope to have Dr. Edgington return soon."
Our church family has had its share of marriage stress and trials. We were very thankful to be
able to host the "Majesty of Marriage" seminar led by Dr. Edgington. The topics covered were timely
and totally grounded in Scripture. It is so important to be thinking biblically since it is this and
NOT pop psychology that sanctifies us and builds us up in the grace and knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ. We thank the Lord for Compassionate Counselors and this excellent and very
helpful siminar.

Absolutely. We would be honored to minister in your fellowship. We can do men’s
retreats, or men’s breakfasts. We would love to speak to your group about issues related to biblical
counseling and possibly “jump start” some ministry in your church. We also do training for biblical
counseling.
It would be our joy. We can do special seminars on particular topics
(i.e. “Depression” or “Anxiety” or “Parenting,” but also we can do extensive training for laymen
in the church over a Friday evening and Saturday morning. We have done 14 week training in a
Bible College , and can do workshops on Saturday mornings. We can even customize our seminars to
particular issues for your congregation. We would love to minister the Word of God to you.
Contact us and we will discuss the options together. We also are available for other various
speaking venues.
