"Married Life Live" is a quarterly event open to all married couples of all ages
and stages. Because great marriages don't happen on accident, "Married Life
Live" is designed to strengthen and enrich marriages by focusing on six
essentials for married life. It will begin with a time of appetizers and an
opportunity for couples to meet and talk with other couples. After a time of
fellowship, a delicious meal will be served as couples continue their
conversations at the dinner table. Following dinner, couples will be challenged
to not only hear about new ways of strengthening their marriage but also
practice how to do so through some practical communication skills and other
activities. The night closes with dessert and coffee.
-
Trust God - If having a healthy marriage seems impossible, it's because
it is. However, we have a loving, heavenly Father who wants to make it
possible. We believe the number one essential of a healthy marriage is
allowing God to control our lives. That is why we believe the number one
essential for a healthy marriage is to trust God. -
Hurry Home - It is essential for a healthy marriage that you make your
time together a priority. For marriages to thrive, schedules must reflect
the huge priority of home. Whatever it takes, do not neglect time at
home. In fact we encourage you to Hurry Home. -
Cultivate Communication - There may be nothing worse than feeling
misunderstood. And perhaps there is nothing better than feeling
understood. Good communication is paramount in a good marriage.
We believe it is essential for you and your spouse to Cultivate
Communication. -
Nurture Romance - The power of romance, sex and intimacy can be a
married couple's biggest ally or it's greatest enemy. It's quite natural
to want your spouse to remember your romantic needs and desires.
However, Married Life believes the goal should be to put your spouse's
needs and desires first. That's the best way to Nurture Romance. -
Celebrate Differences - By God's design, men and women are very
different. Our differences can be used to complement and serve each
other, or they can drive us apart. We often try to change our spouses,
in the name of love. It's crucial for couples to seek to understand and
accept each other's differences. We want you to Celebrate Differences. -
Finish Together - More and more people are putting divorce on the
table as an option. One essential thing every healthy marriage needs
is security. People need to know that together as a couple, they can
work out anything. We want couples to Finish Together.
