Marriage Education

 
Remember that you don't just want to be married; you want to be happily married. How well do you know your partner?

Strategic Romance - -Jim Mueller, Aug 2, 2002
From Growthtrac: Your resource to spiritual growth and a stronger marriage.

When Sheri and I speak publicly, we almost always make the point that our romantic relationship has never been better. Then I cringe when Sheri goes a step further and says, "After twenty-five years, few couples can say their sex life is better than ever!"

I wouldn't have put it quite the way Sheri did, but she's right. Over the years our relationship is a deeper, more expressive, higher priority partnership.

With a sense of relief and newfound hope, couples talk to us afterward about their concern for fading love. They are encouraged and relieved that a couple who is more mature in calendar years, like us, can still be in love. Click here for full article.

Assemblies of God Marriage Encounter

Marriage Encounter is a weekend away from home, family, and responsibilities. Here, in a comfortable, secluded environment, a couple is guided in the discovery of a new way of communication that will help them know each other better.

It is not a retreat, but a program designed to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their strengths and weaknesses, and their attitudes toward each other and their families.

Assemblies of God Marriage Encounter is based on the belief that the marriage relationship is the most significant, most intimate relationship on earth.
