Marriage Matters

Marriage Matters exists to glorify God by honoring and strengthening the marriages and families of First Baptist Jonesboro, our associated congregations, and our community.

We seek to offer programs, Bible study, discipleship series, events and retreats that are designed to strengthen marriages and develop supportive relationships. Whether you’ve been married for years, or are newly married, you will learn how to apply God’s Word to help you and your spouse build your marriage to weather life’s storms and be a shining example to others of God’s love.

Marriage is honorable among all...Hebrews 13:4
