What's Been Happening?
2019 kicked off with a BANG! We attended the Bridal Extravaganza January 5 - 6 at George R. Brown. We met some amazing future brides and grooms. We had a wonderful show and have already provided pre-marriage prep to some of the couples we met.
In February, we had our first opportunity to reach singles at Houston Baptist University. We presented a summary of "Love: INSANITY vs INSIGHT. We were so excited when asked to offer the COMPLETE six-weeks series!
After working with engaged couples, we have discovered that ideally reaching singles BEFORE their hearts are involved is IMPORTANT! Our passion and goal is to provide as much education and training regarding God's design for relationships PRIOR to engagement and marriage. When an individual and/or couple put in the "hard-work" on the front end of a relationship, there will be less damage control later.
In March, we kicked off the FULL 6-week series for "Love: INSANITY vs INSIGHT." The singles who have been attending these meetings are eager to learn ways to help better equip themselves for the dating world and future marriages. We are looking forward to the last half of this series with this great group!
In addition to the above, we have been providing pre-marriage prep. We have held monthly Pre-Marriage BootCamps as well as administering the SYMBIS assessment to couples, one-on-one. We love being able to spend time with these couples and impart God's design of a marriage relationship!
We have been blessed abundantly this quarter and look forward to what God has in store for the rest of the year!

How Committed Are You?
Don't you love it when marriage is running at its "Optimum Level?" Everything is GOOD! However, there are other times, when marriage might sometimes feel like a 'death crawl" due to added weight. Key word is feel.
Have you ever felt like your spouse is not "carrying their weight?" Could it possibly be they NEED you to "Not Quit on Them?" Are you willing to feel the "burn," "the hurt," ...Marriage is not ALWAYS going to FEEL GOOD; however, we must "Not Quit on Me!"
God has not QUIT on us and we MUST NOT QUIT!
YOUR marriage is YOUR ministry to YOUR spouse!
Don't QUIT on YOUR MARRIAGE!
