FROM THE PROS
A. The prospective bride must talk to an
older married woman and the
prospective groom must talk to an
older married man (Titus 2:1-5).

church, if possible.
2. This person should be successful in
marriage and a true servant of the
church.
B. Supply the bride and groom with
questions to ask the older couple when
they have the interview.
1. What has allowed your marriage to
work?
2. What have you personally done to
help the marriage?
3. How have you handled difficulties in
your marriage?
4. What did you do when the going got
tough?
5. As you look back over the last 50
years, what times were the hardest?
6. What advice would you give to
someone like me?
