A Weekend to Remember is the one conference that I recommend that ALL couples go to at least once. Family Life has done an awesome job designing these conferences to cover all the basics needed for married couples. This conference will help strengthen any marriage. Kelly and I like to go to this conference frequently. We have found that it helps us refocus and reminds us of all the things we know to do, but seem to forget as “life” takes our focus off each other.

“But our marriage is doing OK!”

I do not know about you, but I do not like settling for OK or fine or even pretty good. One line I took away from the recent movie Fireproof, “Marriage is meant to be so much more”. I strongly agree with that. There should be passion. There should be trust. There should be mutual support. This conference will help you improve these areas of your marriage.

“But our marriage is beyond saving!”

I strongly believe that with faith any marriage can be not only saved, but made into a strong vibrant relationship. If Kelly and I can make it out of the hole we dug, then anyone can. God has turned our marriage from wishing we both would die to being glad to see each other every day. Marriage like life is a struggle. It is only over when we give up on it and there is no breath left in our body. While this conference may not repair all that is broken, a Weekend to Remember can help you get started on the path.

“But I really do not need to go!”

Please do not be like the couples we end up counseling. Too often it is too late for couples when they finally ask for help. By too late, what I mean is that one or both have already given up on the marriage and nothing seems to be able to change their minds. We do not do maintenance on our cars when it is having problems, but when we are supposed to. Your marriage needs regular maintenance. Consider the Weekend to Remember as part of your regular maintenance program.

“But I…”

Oh, stop putting things off and show your spouse how important your marriage is to you.

“I have a question!”

Well I have a phone. Call me 304.261.6913.
