This
is our second one. The first one we
attended was in December 2012, the day after I found out I was pregnant from an
affair. Our life changed so much that
weekend. 2 ½ years later, we wanted to
attend again under different circumstances.
Thank you for all that you do.
These weekends help our marriage tremendously. It’s like marriage 101 refresher courses for
us, and we will attend again and again.
PS. We had a beautiful daughter after having four boys. Such a blessing! Wife,
marital health 3 to 9, Married 11 years
Showed
us what we should and shouldn’t be doing to get closer to each other and to
God. How to love each other in a way
that works – instead of what we think should work. Wife, 8 to 9, married 16 years
Janet
and I had a moving time sharing the letters we wrote to one another during one
of the project sessions. I hate
writing letters. I never know what to
write, but the questions in the FamilyLife manual with prayer and the Holy
Spirit, opened up a flood of thoughts and memories that I could share to
express the love Christ has given me for Janet. Husband, 8 to 9, married 25 years
We
openly had conversations about our past/future.
We decided to talk about the concept of refraining from sexual
intercourse during our engagement. This
has given us a new possibility for love – ways to be honoring to my God that I
never knew before. My fiancé and I know
the potential dangers of marriage and are now not blind. This sets us up for success like we never
before could imagine! Pre-married, 7 to 9
I
have been struggling in my marriage and parenting and feeling so
burdened, alone, and overwhelmed and not supported – knowing God and who
He is, but not experiencing/seeing any reprieve. But, my husband took a first
step in turning our marriage around – so I’m not alone anymore – thank
you. Wife,
2 to 8, married 14 years
Why
didn’t we do this earlier?? Husband, 5 to
7, married 12 years
Gave
us a chance to just be us and not worry about the kids and teach us to listen
to one another. It was like we were
dating again – very nice! Husband, 8 to
9, married 6 years
This
weekend was a much needed time for us to get away and just be
together. I feel closer to my spouse;
have some tools in my pocket to hopefully be a better communicator during
conflict. My hope is that my heart will
not harden and that I will remember and cherish this time. Wife, 6
to 8, married 13 years
Encouraging;
brought us deeper, new level of connecting and closeness. My husband said, “It feels like the Holy
Spirit has filled our sails,” after this conference. We needed this time away from our daily
lives. Well worth it, so much fun with
my best friend! Wife, 7 to 10, married 2
years
My
wife and I were separated! She had filed
for divorce. We decided to attend this conference to help try and save our
marriage, it is going extremely well. I
had anger issues and was a closet alcoholic.
I have recently accepted Jesus Christ in my life and family. There is no place for alcohol in my life
today and Jesus is leading me and my family on His path. This conference has given me direction and
allowed me to see that the direction he has provided is the accurate direction. This was simply awesome to look at my family
and wife in a new light. Husband, married 9 ½ years
