The last couple of Sunday nights I have preached on marriage. I think many of us take our marriages for granted. We pour time and money into our children, activities, work, and many other things. But what do we pour into our marriage? Many times we know something is wrong, or the relationship just doesn’t seem right, but we fail to work on it because other parts of our life get in the way. What a shame that we let the most important human relationship in our lives fall by the wayside.
This is why my wife and I make it a point to attend couples retreat yearly. I have heard people say, “My wife and I already have a good marriage. Do I really need to spend the money to reiterate what I already know?” Why not strive to make a good marriage better. I have heard others say, “I would go but my husband / wife doesn’t want to go.” If your the one holding out give up. Wives, the Bible tells you to follow your husband’s leadership. Husbands the Bible tells you to care for your wife as you care for your own body and to love her as Christ loves the church. I have even heard people say, “My wife and I have a better marriage than most couples so these couples retreats never speak to us where we are. They seem to always be for people with bad marriages.” This same excuse could also be made for attending church. I will personally guarantee that if you and your wife attend couples retreat this fall with an open heart that your marriage will get better. That could be the difference of bad to good or good to best. Either way you should be desirous of the best marriage that you can have.
The speaker this year is Dr. Bud Steadman He was the speaker for our missions conference last December. He is the is the executive director of Baptist World Missions and is an excellent speaker. The retreat is hosted by Grand View Camp and will be held at the beautiful Glen Eyrie Camp and Conference Center in Colorado Springs. You won’t want to miss this great opportunity to pour into the most important human relationship in your life. If you are in need of child care please let me know and I will help you. Please make your plans to be their. See the attached flyer for for pricing and dates.
