Whether we’ve been married one year or thirty years, marriages remain a mystery.

Most couples settle into a “€œway that seems right”€ to them. Without a clear purpose a clear plan, and a committed process, we can all drift into a stable but perhaps unfulfilling marriage.

Seasons change. The excitement of young marriages meets the reality of differing expectations. Parallel lives slowly emerge. Couples with young children become consumed with parenting, and often the marriage takes a back seat. When teen agers sprout up, it can test the fabric of the best marriages. Then the college years begin the detachment into adulthood and couples soon discover they will be empty nesters.

Since each season is completely predictable, why do so few couples navigate these chapters with grace and joy?

Join us this weekend as we review the biblical basis of what God designed and how we can re-align our expectations toward His ideas. Renew, realign and recalibrate your relationship into a new set of expectations: realistic and biblical. Perhaps this will be the first time you’€™ve looked at God’€™s design for marriage or perhaps you’ll rediscover what you’€™ve forgotten. At the end of the day, Christ has a great intent and design for your marriage. His way is not only the best way, it is a joyful way.

Registration for the marriage conference is now closed. If you would still like to attend, or if you have other questions, please email Diane Sheldon (dianesheldon@restonbible.org).
