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.

RESPECT: It's a word that comes up often in counseling rooms. It's tossed out in the midst of arguments. Some demand it and will make you pay if you don't give it. We all want it, but most of us have trouble giving it.
Marriage is a covenant relationship. As I said last week, many today regard marriage as permanent as long as they're happy and things work out. But when the other person is no longer meeting their perceived needs or they're simply not happy, they believe they're free to break that covenant.
At best, most think of marriage as a legally binding contract. Contracts are entered into for a variety of reasons. They can be negotiated and with the right attorney are often broken or nullified. Not so with a covenant.
Have you ever wished someone could hand you a step-by-step plan for changing your husband—or your wife?
Most of us have tried. We've explained, reminded, pointed out problems, offered advice, and perhaps even repeated ourselves a few times. Yet somehow the results are often disappointing.
But what if the very thing we think will produce change is actually making it harder?
In today's reading, Proverbs paints a vivid picture of one kind of spouse and then contrasts it with another. The difference isn't personality, intelligence, or even spiritual maturity. It's something far more practical—and surprisingly powerful.
Could the best way to influence your spouse be the exact opposite of what comes naturally to most of us?
