| When you first mentioned the retreat, I just blew
it off, because my husband rarely gets weekends
off; what were the chances of that being the
weekend of the retreat? Well, God knew. As you
know, we were struggling, to the point of divorce.
Not what either of us wanted, but we just
didn't know how to go forward, and quite frankly
just sort of gave up. For him to sign up for the
retreat was HUGE. We were blown away with how
simple the information was, how easy it was
to receive, but the powerful punch it gave.
We were both hit between the eyes, but with the
excitement of finally "getting it." |
| I would like to tell you again how meaningful the
weekend was for us. We had separated and were
on our way to divorce. We are trying again. So the
weekend meant so much to us, it gave us hope,
love, and respect. Several of the couples that were
there last weekend have been praying for us and I
know that God intervened and put us back together. |
| I have learned a tremendous
amount about being the type of
man, husband, and father that I
need to be for our son. |
|
| I just had to tell you how much this past weekend meant to my
husband and I. This I think is the answer we had been
searching for for the past 30 years. |
| I believe this has been a major turning point in our
marriage! We have just been astounded by what we
have learned and are having fun learning how to
implement it. I believe with all my heart that this is
something that every married couple needs
to hear (especially Christians)! |
| The "Truth of the weekend that has transformed
me most" has been the deep realization that
respecting my husband is my duty, obedient
response, and requirement to my God who is my
Lord, and my life. It is so helpful. This teaching on
respecting my husband, I knew in my head,
but I did NOT know it in my heart and I did NOT
understand what it meant to live it out. It has
transformed my attitude about my husband and
my marriage. I cannot imagine that our marriage
would have such a fresh start and be so totally
improved. Praise God. |
