The Benefits and Blessings of a Marriage Conference
Marriage is a commitment, a decision to “have and to hold, in sickness and in health, ’til death do us part”….BUT as awesome as that sounds…you do not really know how difficult it will be when you say “I do” to honor that commitment on a day to day basis. It takes a lifetime to learn to be unselfish, to put someone else’s needs before your own and to serve, respect and actively love another person in every decision you make for the rest of your life. I am a commitment person, when I make a vow or give my word, I am ALL IN!!! Marriage is the best and most fulfilling relationship I have ever invested in but it has also required more patience and perseverance than all other relationships. I absolutely LOVE my husband, he is my best friend and he has stolen my heart forever. The challenge is not my husband per se, it is the challenge of two people learning to live and love, forgive and forget and move on through the ups and downs of life together.
It is very important to be student’s of each other-to grow together and continue to learn about likes and dislikes, dreams, hopes and visions for your future together. It takes time, committed to intentional active listening and talking and then for us, praying together. Reading books together, pursuing hobbies together, being open to join your spouse in things he likes that may not be your favorite way to spend time, all help develop a deeper appreciation for one another. It is also very important to keep growing as individuals, encouraging one another to pursue personal interests and share the new things you learn.
Dating your spouse is a great investment of time and energy. Regular time together, set aside to share and reconnect will help you through the busy and challenging seasons of your lives. A regular date night does not mean spending a lot of money, it means spending quality time together. You can go on a walk, go to a bookstore and look at books together, sit and talk at a coffee shop, go out for frozen yogurt or an ice cream cone, go sit outside under the stars and talk, go on a bike ride, play tennis…….the list is endless..set aside the time to spend together and have fun!
Attending Marriage conferences can be a great way to address difficult subjects that many couples push aside or ignore and can help developing healthy techniques for conflict resolution. As a first anniversary gift for one of our daughters, my husband and I accompanied our daughter and her husband and her in-laws to the Family Life Today “Weekend to Remember”. It was a delight to spend that weekend listening to awesome speakers and participating in guided conversation with my husband.
