Marriage Class

Tuesday evening was a little tense when I got home, and as I suspected, my wife was a little 'put-off' by seeing me as I was of her. But I decided to break the ice and speak in a calm and rational manner to see what her 'issue' was. It also wasn't a surprise to me her response as we seem to have danced this waltz a few times before.

Time, and hopefully prayers, heals hurt and by Wed. things seemed to be okay.

This morning I received an e-mail from my wife asking if I knew one of our neighbors was a pastor at a local Christian church. Actually, I did know that as I learned that after having a few disucssions with him over the past 3 years we've lived there.

He is holding some 'marital' courses in the upcoming weeks and somehow he managed to get my wife's email (how, I do not know) and sent her some descriptions and dates.

I cannot help but believe this is indeed the Lord coming in and taking not of my prayers and extended an innocent offering to my wife. Of course I jumped right on it and said, 'We should check one out', and she AGREED! What? I sit dumbfounded and thankful. She even suggested I go ahead and register us. So here is the outline of our class I signed us up for.....it's right up or alley, praise God!!

Marriage Class: Relational Intimacy
Why doesn't he talk with me like he used to?
We used to never argue like this before!
Isn't sex a central part of intimacy?
What happened to the romance in our relationship?

Most of us marry wiht the idea that our lives will sustain the feelings of relational bliss we had when we were dating. What we find is that reality is much more complex and other things compete for our attention. We worry about careers, money, appointments, repairs, bills, kids... no wonder we feel distance from our spouses. Together, you can experience a deeper marital intimacy that will have a stronger influence on where and how you spend your time, than the pull of everyday life.

This class is one of five stand alone classes designed to give you a picture of what a healthy relationship looks like. So whether you’re thinking about marriage, engaged to be married, or have been married for years, join us for Marriage Class: Relational Intimacy!
