Revolutionary Marriage Conference
View All ClassesAbout this Class
Your marriage is a holy union. It is both a space where the unique natures of being male and female can be enjoyed and reflect the image bearing characteristics of God. It is also a place where sacrifice and death to self create a “oneness” - where grace is modeled. It is the territory of deep intimacy. It is not easy. It is not for the faint of heart or starry-eyed romantic. It is a sacred vocation.
Safe Marriage
Marriage can be emotionally risky. But when practiced in the safety of trusting vulnerability, deep intimacy is experienced. Every couple experiences varying levels of betrayal. Damage (emotional and relational) is healed through forgiveness and reconciliation. We need to become skilled practitioners, so reconciliation is the most common path to restore intimacy in our marriages.
Stable Marriage
Distance seems to be experienced too often in many of our relationships, including marriage. Technology can be a primary culprit for creating distance. It is important to establish boundaries and practices that maintain deep attachments in marriage and solidify commitments. Marriage is stabilized with clear commitments.
Successful Marriage
Marriage was cursed in the Garden to end in death. Some marriages experience an early death through divorce. But God never intended for marriage to experience this level of loss. God’s original plan was for marriage to be regenerative and life-giving. It is part of his creation story. Marriage can play a role in His resurrection plan.
These ideas above will be the themes of the conference.
