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
Space is limited so don’t wait. For more information or to make a reservation, you can email us at Joyful Marriage Ministries:

Communication ... it's a big thing in all human relationships but it's vitally important in our marriages. There are so many things that we need to communicate about ... finances, children, work, schedules, even intimacy ... and when we don't do it well or hardly at all, it can lead to misunderstandings, hard feelings, and outright war.
What's wrong with living together? Many people today argue that a marriage license is "just a piece of paper." Others claim that marriage was an institution designed by society or governments and is no longer necessary or useful.
And in fact, our government seems to be perfectly accepting of cohabitation as an alternative. Many businesses consider domestic partners, as they are sometimes referred to, eligible for benefits. Society, as a whole, no longer gives it much thought. So, is marriage an outdated concept? Is living together the practical, logical, even necessary, thing to do in many circumstances?
Also, why do we need to be willing to speak the truth about the LGBTQ+ array of issues? Why must we refuse to be silent?
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.
Donna,
