THIS RETREAT IS BOOKED BUT WE WILL BE DOING ANOTHER ONE IN DECEMBER. IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED, email us at joyfulmarriageministries@yahoo.com.
Wherever you are in your marriage, you can take it to the next level with a Bible-based marriage retreat. Couples will get away and work on some of the most common marriage issues like communication, conflict resolution, growth in intimacy, and help understanding why you or your spouse responds as you do at times.
You’ll also enjoy beautiful accommodations and time spent with each other.
My husband and I will be leading the retreat. Mike is a pastor and biblical counselor and I’m a certified biblical counselor. Besides leading retreats and conferences, we started and ran a biblical counseling center for twelve years and have been counseling couples for twenty-plus years. By God’s grace, we have seen hundreds of marriages change and grow over the years.

Marriage is hard. It takes work. It takes staying committed in a world that says, "If I'm not happy, I'm outta here." Yet, none of us marries with the idea that it won't last. We get married thinking our relationship will be different. We're in love and plan to live happily ever after. That lasts about a week-and-a-half.
Instead, marriage is like God's sandpaper. It exposes our basic selfishness and all our rough edges. But if we let God teach us where we need to grow and change ... if we learn to forgive ... if we learn what it means to give grace to one another ... if we stay committed through the good times and the bad, marriage can be one of God's greatest gifts.
Leadership books, seminars, articles, and posts abound in every realm of life. They approach leadership in many different ways. Jesus' explanation of leadership might seem counter-intuitive to many. In fact, it even surprised His disciples. But Jesus' kind of leadership is extremely important to understand, especially in the context of marriage.
