Jay and I attended a Weekend to Remember when we were engaged. It was an awesome experience for 2 people who had just a vague idea of what we were about to do. We stayed at my parent's house in Indianapolis and dutifully completed the couple challenges. We still retain the motto, "My mate is not my enemy," when in the midst of conflict. We also refer back to the image of placing bricks between us as we build a wall with our sin and selfishness.
We were blessed to be part of a team that brought The Art of Marriage to Blackhawk a few years ago. Again, it was a time to invest in our marriage with sound advice and a redirection to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. We went through it as a small group; then later rolled it out into a weekend for the church body (77 couples attended!!).
We again are headed to a Weekend to Remember with a few other couples from Blackhawk. It is again in Indianapolis (APRIL 29-30 & MAY 1). We know that we will get a lot out of the time we spend away from our kids and the responsibilities at home.
I say all of this to encourage each of you to do likewise. If a weekend retreat isn't in your budget or a road trip isn't feasible-find something that will work. I will post resources on this blog post for future reference. If you are inclined to join us-in Indianapolis or another event in the future: you can get a Buy One Get One Free until midnight 1/25 using the group name BlackhawkMinistries and the promo code BOGO.
If you use the group name BlackhawkMinistries you will always get the BEST rate available at the time regardless if there is a promo code or not (sometimes it is $100 off a registration).

Happy Marriage Building!!
