AQA GCSE Theme A: 3.2 Sexual relationships before and outside of marriage

Inspired by AQA GCSE Religious Studies Theme A: Chapter 3 Relationships & Families.

This lesson focuses on exploring different religious views on marriage and their perspectives on relationships before and after marriage. Students will investigate teachings from major world religions, such as Christianity and Islam to understand the significance of marriage as a sacred or cultural institution.

The lesson will also examine how various religious traditions view premarital and post-marital relationships, highlighting areas of agreement and disagreement. Through the analysis of sacred texts, teachings, and contemporary interpretations, students will develop an understanding of the diversity of beliefs regarding relationships, morality, and commitment.

By engaging in class discussions, group work, and source-based activities, students will be encouraged to critically reflect on how religious views on marriage align or contrast with modern societal attitudes and personal values.

I spend time planning so would be grateful if you leave a review, thank you :)
