Overview
Please accept our invitation to, "Our Marriages and the Marriages of Our Son's and Daughters." This is one of my favorite gatherings. It is small and intimate and it takes place in our home - my favorite place. We limit the group size to around 20 couples and we spend the whole time in our living room. We will consider the true heartstrings of happiness in marriage as well as the little foxes that make marriage hard. Further, we will speak about how we might be a blessing to our children in helping them to choose and how they should look to the Bible to guide them as they enter into the process of getting married.
Deborah and I have been married for 39 years. Also, I am excited to have Joel and Mary Beeke join us this year, they have been married for 31 years.
Come and join us to consider God’s beautiful design for marriage and define what makes for godly intimacy in marriage.
