Could your marriage use a tune-up? Or even some intensive care? Or do you know someone else who might benefit from a retreat? At our Joyful Marriage Retreats, couples will get away and work on some of the most common marriage issues like communication, conflict resolution, growing in intimacy, and help understanding why we respond as we do at times.
My husband and I will be leading the retreats. He is a pastor and biblical counselor. And I’m a biblical counselor, certified through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.
For those who don’t know, we started and ran a biblical counseling center for twelve years and have been counseling couples for eighteen-plus years. We hope you will join us for one of these encouraging and helpful getaways.
Retreats include:
A two-night hotel stay in Las Cruces, New Mexico
Breakfast & lunch
All materials
Small group teaching (never more than three other couples)
One-on-one session with each couple, if desired
There will be four summer Joyful Marriage Retreats held this July and August. Upcoming dates are:
July 7-9, 2022
July 14-16, 2022
August 11-13, 2022
August 18-20, 2022

Remember. Repent. Repeat. If "red-hot love" has turned to "not tonight, honey" and passion has given way to bills, soccer games, and to-do lists ... if you seem to have lost that loving feeling ... what do those simple instructions have to do with regaining the feelings of love and romance you once had?
And on what are the greatest feelings in the world dependent? How can we have them no matter what our circumstances and whether or not other people act right or not?
The latest statistics I could find say the rate of divorce in the US is about 40-50%, but I've discovered that statistics are hard to pin down. Some say the rate of divorce has dropped in the last decade and that as high as 70% of marriages make it to their 15th year. If that's true, what about the 30 or 40% who don't? And is it possible that the divorce rate is going down because many couples simply live together without marrying?
What does the Bible say about divorce? Is it allowable to divorce because we're not happy or no longer in love? Is it okay to divorce if we realize we are unequally yoked? Are there biblical grounds for divorce? And one final question, why is it so important for singles to understand these principles, too?
Thanks so much, Linda. That’s our prayer, too. Because we know what God has done in our marriage, we want others to experience the joy and intimacy that only God can give when we do things His way.
