I'm looking specifically for a Bible Study that will help me feel my commitment to my husband again. I would prefer if it was an actual book that I could order but I would be willing to do an online Bible study as well. Thanks

I'd lilke to add that it always surprises me that people who don't consider themselves religious or who don't read the Bible will even answer a question about this topic and try to tell me that I'm wrong for how I feel. Why does it matter to you that I beleive in God and read the Bible?
another thing...I recently used a Bible study to help me get over the loss of a child. It helped me tremendously, more than any other counselling or books etc.
I already LOVE my husband, and this is my method to make our marriage stronger. We've been through something difficult (loss of a baby) and now it's time to work on the marriage.
thanks to all those who answered my question.

Check out Jimmy and Karen Evans online at marriagetoday.org (or google them)
They have a wonderful book/audio series called "Return to Intimacy" that may be worth looking into. They also have a series called "Marriage on the Rock" which has great material to build or rebuild the foundation of your relationship with your husband.
Blessings.

I appreciate your desire to move into a better relationship with your husband. However, your question has an obvious inconsistency that you may wish to consider in further detail. Therefore, I am not going to give you a reference, but suggest that you reconsider your how to pursue your quest in light of this new information
You state that you would like to feel your commitment to your husband. I understand real commitment to be an act of the will, not an emotion. If you are looking for a good feeling towards your husband, that is different (and, he must be an active participant in improving the relationship between the two of you.)
Consider the 1 Corinthians 13 definition of love - it does not always feel good. Verse 3 starts out "Love suffers long and is kind." The definition ends in verse 7 stating, "Love believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." Biblical love is not primarily based on emotions, but on an act of the will. Biblical love must include some element of faith - the subtance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.
There is another area that you may not have considered. I went to a conference on this subject and one of the points that came out was the most difficult thing for husband is to love the wife and for wife is to respect the husband. I would suggest that you include in your search for a better relationship an effort to increase respect for your husband. This conference claimed that as you do this, that will motivate him to love you more and it will become a positive reinforcing cycle.
I realize that this answer is not what you were looking for, but hopefully it will help you in your journey. May God will bless your efforts to improve the relationship between you and your husband.

a million. Say i do no longer understand the way people could be chuffed in heaven understanding that others are being tortured. 2. Say i'm suffering to understand the message right here and depart them attempting to shelter the sparkling injustice. 3. Have we someway misunderstood the message approximately his return? could we try to interpret the message to intend some thing else. Like no longer searching for the impossible. think of putting somebody a try with the help of putting a stone on a table and asking them to catch it whilst it jumps into the air. of direction it in no way will yet a fool could wait continually for the impossible. consistent with possibility thats the actual which technique of the story? Plant the thought the whole bible isn't actual.

If your love for your husband is reclaimable, it should be acheived between you and him. Take some time to talk about what's bothering each of you, and make an action plan to try to work on those issues. No book can help you change how you feel in a relationship. Only your partner can do that.
I wish you the best of luck and many happy years of marriage.

Last week I watched a great study/seminar on a Christian channel. It was a part of a series, and it was at Jack Hayford's church. I can't remember the exact name.
Google Jack Hayford, etc.
What I saw was really good and uplifting to me (my feelings toward my husband).
EDIT:
Child of God (below) has the answer; I mean, that is who I was watching on TV. Jimmy and Karen Evans, really good.

Well, first of all, your model for marital love is Jesus Christ. Love your husband as Christ loved you. That means giving of yourself.
As for practical advice in the Christian tradition I would highly recommend "For Better Forever" by Gregory K. Popcak.

Read the Book of Solomon in your bible. In particular, the Song of Solomon. If that doesn't work, nothing will!

Funny how you didn't mention "God" in that.
Doesn't matter if you attended a hundred Bible studies. If God is uninvolved, you're going nowhere.

Forget that Mormon mumbo jumbo that someone said about....what really works is for you both to have an affair. You both should sleep with other people then tell each other all about it....You will then grow together. My wife and I do this technique twice a week. We are ecstatic about our marriage.
