A good marriage is a grand challenge. Statistics reveal the story of an eroding culture which has lost perspective on God’s gift of unconditional unity.

Kim and I were both unbelievers when we were married while still in highschool. We were completely unaware of God’s plan for marital unity and well on our way to becoming a tragic marital statistic. But in his grace, God placed us into an environment which cultivated unity, sparked intimacy, and forged a God honoring partnership. It was not until some years later, after we both became followers of Christ, that we realized exactly how God had used my vision impairment to cause us to live according to his incredible plan.

Join us for a refreshing marital retreat experience as Kim and I offer encouragement from God’s Word illustrated by stories of our own faith walk. These 3 light-hearted sessions address the heavy topic of unconditional marital unity done God’s way. Each session is full of opportunities to laugh, think, and grow:

Session 1: The Meaning of Marriage
Everything works best when it’s used for what it was intended. When we use a thing for something other than it was built it will not work right and it will not last long. So what is the purpose of marriage? Why did God create this level of human connection and intimacy?
Session 2: Roles and Responsibilities
In the garden, God made the first man perfect but incomplete. Adam was built with a design deficiency, one that could only be fulfilled by Eve. Unity in marriage requires this type of authentic dependence. If we allow it, our dissimilarities can forge strength, our distinctions can be fashioned into a thing of beauty. God-assigned roles and responsibilities play a crucial part in his design for marriage, but probably not in the way you’ve imagined.
Session 3: What Flaws. . .?
The fall tarnished God’s perfect plan for marriage. In any relationship, the moment you commit yourself to another sinful, broken human being, you are opening yourself up to not just the possibility but the absolute certainty of being hurt. This is especially true in marriage. But just as God redeems broken sinners, God can also redeem broken relationships. In his word, we can find a beautiful plan for managing conflict in marriage.

These sessions are supplemented with time together and fun opportunities to reconnect and grow as partners.
