A Weekend to Remember

Dan and I attended FamilyLife's Weekend to Remember conference that was held in the Pittsburgh area this past weekend. What a great get-away at exactly the right time! We could not recommend this conference enough to every married couple we know. There are 150 Weekend to Remember conferences across the US every year. The speakers were dynamic and insightful, the application projects to do together as a couple were honest & meaningful, and the message of the importance of the marital covenant relationship was central. It was a God-honoring time of reflection, renewal, and inspiration for our marriage & I'm sure so many others. There were couples there who were married for just a few months and couples who have been married for 45 years. Truly, every married couple has something more to learn.



Fortunately our church reached out to help out with the cost for us to go, but they have group rates for 5 or more couples, and they have volunteer rates if you're willing to put in some time volunteering for different things at the conference. If not, start saving. It is a worthwhile investment of your time & money.

Hey Courtney! It is great that you and Danny were able to get away for a weekend. I remember those days of having little ones and it was such a blessing being able to get away and focus on each other and God's plans for your marriage. George and I have never been to one of those weekends but I hear they are great! Have a great day and Happy Thanksgiving! Lisa

Dad and I have gone to at least 4 marriage conferences in our 39 years of marriage and each one was very meaningful. Yes they are worth the time and effort to go. It's especially nice when the children are young to have time for just the two of you. Right now we have alot of time for just the two of us but we never stop learning.
I'm happy to hear you had a nice weekend. We were praying for you.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm so thankful for each of our children and grandchildren! You are a blessing to us. MOM
