Healthy Marriage

Seminar Topics

His Needs, Her Needs
Men and women are created differently. We explore his needs and her needs to better understand our differences and move from frustration to fascination.

Love Languages
God has created each of us with unique ways to give and receive love. For some love is spelled Quality Time. For others it is Encouraging Words. There are five languages of love that are important for us to know about and understand. We'll help you identify your love languages and give you time to apply this new information to your marriage.

Romance
Mistakenly, our culture believes that dating is a concept used only before marriage. In reality, romance and the dating relationship needs to continue after marriage to invest in the marriage relationship. You'll walk away with dozens of ideas of how to put the sizzle back into your relationship.

Intimacy
Most people confuse intimacy with sex. While the sexual relationship is a part of marital intimacy, it's not all that intimacy is. Communication, caring, resolving conflict, meeting one another's needs are all part of the intimacy piece of a marriage relationship.

Conflict Resolution
When you blend two lives together, conflict happens. The goal for a healthy marriage is to know how to resolve conflict in a healthy way.

Forgiveness
In a healthy marriage, forgiveness and grace need to happen on a daily basis (sometimes even on a minute by minute basis!).

Sexual Relationship
God gave us an incredible gift to open and unwrap in marriage. We discuss how to make the physical relationship all it can be in your marriage relationship.

Spiritual Relationship
God designed the marriage relationship to include a relationship with Him. Biblical principles are shared throughout the weekend to encourage couples in incorporating their faith into their marriage.
