Several weeks ago, Bear and I invited you and your spouse to consider participating in a marriage enriching Weekend to Remember event presented by FamilyLife. How time flies– as the Weekend to Remember Event at the Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree kicks off next Friday evening, October 7th.
In a minute, we will tell you how you may be able to earn a free registration ($159 savings) for next weeks event at the Denver Marriott South.
Well over 100 couples have registered thus far for next weeks’ event at the Denver Marriott South. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Happily married couples know that maintaining and growing a loving married relationship with your spouse requires weekend getaways where the only focus in on your relationship with your spouse.
Not a month goes by where Bear and I do not get a call or a visit from a friend, family member or co-worker, who is experiencing significant problems with their marriage. Unfortunately, many of these relationships have suffered from years of neglect. Many husbands and wives do not realize they even have serious problems with their marriage relationship, until their spouse mentions the “D” word.
One of my co-workers likened FamilyLife’s Weekend to Remember event to a “tune-up” for one’s marriage. A good analogy. We learn as teenagers that we must maintain our cars– check the oil, radiator fluid, tire pressure, etc. We must also bring our cars into the shop annually for a safety check and “tune-up” of the engine and all associated systems.
If we neglect to maintain our cars– don’t check and skip annual tune-ups, one day, usually at the worst possible time, our vehicle breaks down, leaving us stranded alongside the road. The cost to repair our broken-down vehicle, assuming the damage caused by our neglect is repairable, is many times more than if we just took the time to maintain our vehicle in the first place.
Marriage relationships are much the same, though many of us never learned the basics of maintaining our love relationship with our spouse. So how do you check how your marriage relationship with your spouse is doing? What are the signs that your relationship is in serious trouble? What techniques and tools can you use to address and resolve issues and disagreements that erode the loving relationship that you share with your spouse?
The answers to these and other questions will be revealed at the upcoming Weekend to Remember event at the Lone Tree Denver Marriott South hotel next weekend. If your relationship is on the rocks, then your first priority should be to get you and your spouse registered to attend this event. If it’s been awhile since you’ve shared some intimate time with your better half, why not “tune-up” your loving relationship with your spouse, and join us for next week’s event?
