We’re not falling apart or on the brink of divorce, but some there were. Ellen initiated it and I decided that our relationship was important enough to get uncomfortable. We’ve been married for nearly three years and this was our first marriage conference. We met 350 other couples in San Antonio for A Weekend to Remember, a weekend to rejuvenate and inspire our relationship.
In a culture where marriages are replaced like an old pair of shoes, it’s not easy to hold on to what you have and keep it healthy. We heard comments from some of our acquaintances like, “My husband would never do something like that.” Fact is, not too many husbands, even the good ones, would get excited about sharing feelings, communicating, and being challenged over the course of three days . . . I’m one of them. I can tell you though, this side of things I am thankful and proud that we did this. Our relationship is immensely important to us and it was the least we could do for each other and God who brought us together.

Amen. I am surrounded by people whose lives have been destroyed by divorce. People often try to fix their marriages when they've already reached "the point of no return". Marriages need to be nurtured when things are good and bad, not just bad.
Great to rejuv what is God given.
Consider a marriage encounter.
