Live, Laugh, Love – Strengthening Marriages

Marriage Event in the Dallas Area

On the weekend of September 14-15, North Cities sponsored a marriage enrichment retreat in beautiful, historic Granbury, Texas. The theme for the weekend was: “Live, Laugh, Love”

On Friday evening, couples enjoyed a delicious Italian buffet prior to the first session with special guests Mitchell and Janelle Bland. The Blands taught on the gift of words and gave insight on how to effectively communicate with their spouse. Following the session, couples had time to fellowship and walk along a picturesque lakeside boardwalk. Couples were also encouraged to write love letters to their spouses as “homework,” reinforcing the principles taught.

The following morning, couples were encouraged to “lighten up,” laugh, and have fun with their spouses. Clown noses helped everyone not take themselves too seriously! The retreat came to a close Saturday afternoon with a session on thriving in marriage and treating one another with love and respect. Couples then spent time together enjoying the town of Granbury prior to returning home relaxed and renewed from an amazing romantic weekend getaway.
