Family Life Weekend to Remember Getaway

My husband and I went to this Marriage Conference a couple of years ago and it was life and MARRIAGE changing!!! If you are married I definitely recommend it. If you are engaged I DEMAND that you go. If you're married with kids start lining up a babysitter and make it a weekend for just you two.

I'll share this with you;

When my husband and I arrived at this seminar for the weekend. We felt we were in a pretty good place. On the first night we were pretty encouraged and looking forward to the rest of weekend. On the second day, we were asked to conduct an exercise where we wrote LOVE LETTERS (when was the last time you wrote a letter much more a love letter!) to each other. The objective was to surface and identify your true feelings towards each other. The first part of the exercise was to spend 10 minutes praying with each other and the second part was to write the letter. The letter had to cover the following; what qualities attracted us most to each other, what qualities we appreciated or had learned to appreciate since we were married, how our differences had helped us grow emotionally and spiritually and finally what steps we will commit to take to love God and love each other more.

The third part was sharing our letters with each other and let me just say! when all was said and done we were both in tears. We found out we had some bitterness and anger towards each other but also that there was a deep love that neither one of us wanted to let go off or taint. We were brutally honest!! I still think about that moment in our marriage and how it brought us to a new level of honesty, commitment and discovery. Sometimes, it doesn't take being in a bad place to help your marriage. I've been realizing that sometimes we all get complacent, or bored or lazy and what you really need is to go to the next level of discovery, growth and expectation in your marriage. If marriage is supposed to sharpen us, make us the 2.0 versions of ourselves then we should always be investing.

This year we have a baby and we're bringing more couples from our church to the conference and we're excited! Marriage is work, but what we've discovered is that for us it's a the best "job" we've ever had and we love going to work everyday!!!!!!
