Marriage Conferences
Celebration of Marriage
Before marriage, couples pursuing a relationship find such joy and pleasure in being together that they talk for hours on the phone and can’t wait to see each other. After marriage, as time progresses, these same couples become so consumed with the demands of life that they tend to grow distant in their interests and activities.
Celebration of Marriage addresses the danger of potential distance that can creep into marriage relationships by explaining God’s unifying purpose for marriage and how to recognize and deal with distractions that hinder His purpose. The conference challenges married couples and/or singles considering marriage to first find joy and significance in Christ and then to minister to their partner. Some of the topics discussed are:
- God’s Plan for Marriage – Oneness
- Focusing on Christ in the Midst of Daily Distractions
- Temperaments
- Communication Techniques
- Physical and Emotional Intimacy in Marriage
- Husband’s Role, Wife’s Role
Partners in Paradise
Peace, beauty, rest, pleasure, fascination, no worries, delicious food. These things immediately pop into our minds when we dream of paradise. These characteristics should also describe our marriage.
Partners in Paradise examines the first 3 chapters of Genesis as it specifically applies to marriage by investigating God’s original, unchanging intent for a “paradise relationship”. The lessons cover the distinctiveness of males and females in creation and how this distinctiveness enhances purpose and passion in the partnership. The material deals with the lies of Satan that distorted the original paradise and continues to hinder current day marriages. Topics include:
- A Portrait of Paradise
- Partners with Purpose
- Partners with Passion
- Partners in Perversion
- Partners in Pardon
Secrets from the Song
Movies, songs, advertisements, TV shows, novels, and even talk show hosts attempt to lure us into romantic perspectives that are far removed from the real world and even more removed from God’s design. We want to avoid the trap of unreal expectations, but we also want to experience the fullness of God’s design for romance.
Secrets from the Song approaches the delicate subject of physical intimacy in a way that promotes both the purity and liberty that God designed by examining the entire book of the Song of Solomon. The sessions address the differences in how men and women view romance. They also uncover how all areas of life affect intimacy and offer practical instruction in dealing with the hindrances. The topics include:
- Communication and Handling Conflict
- Character Issues
- Developing Romance
- Overcoming Baggage from the Past
- Physical Intimacy
- Preparing Your Children for Purity in Relationships
