MARRIAGE CONFERENCES – put a third party in your marriage

The escalating disintegrating of marriage all over the world poses a very real danger to a healthy family life; yet countless couples move or rush into marriage without study or guidance. How many partners realize that when they are joined together as husband and wife an individually definable role is given, and these roles can be fulfilled in what is called the marriage function. Marriage conferences help hundreds of couples to identify and move past hidden barriers and provide the insight to create the marriage of their dreams. During marriage conferences you will be given the answers to a healthy and thriving marriage, and couples of all ages and stages of marriage will discover practical tools for a loving relationship.

Spouses often try to fix marital problems by trying to get the other person to change, but the real problem is not the way our partners behave – it is the way we react to their behaviour. Leave the decision to change to your partner.

Most couples enter in marriage determining to make it different and to avoid the problems they see in so many other marriages, but as they settle down after the honeymoon, the relationship changes and they become aware of friction. The glow and the thrill of their love diminishes and they wonder why things are going wrong.

Marriage conferences can help couples to develop a relationship which enriches every facet of their lives and bring out the best in each one. Marriage isn't easy, we have to work hard at it, but by bringing a third party into the marriage, Jesus Christ, will make all the difference when we start to consciously obey Him with regard to submitting and loving. By attending one of FamilyLife's marriage conferences held in August through to November throughout South Africa, you will discover how God is the only one who can truly make your marriage different – the way you want it to be!
