Lessons Learned Last Weekend
Hello
You know we did our couples retreat this weekend. Someone just said, “Nah. I ain’t know. When did I miss that?”
We heard you say it! This year we did something differently. We focused on the couples.
Sure, it’s an upgrade to get a real honest word about what you ain’t doing right…ways to uplift God in your marriage and a practical remedy. Dat’s what we do! Gently of course…but yeah.
This retreat had back-to-back activities of time with Bae.
All day long.
Why?
Cause that’s stuff folks don’t do enough of. If you’re willing, you can sit side-by-side to listen to a sermon or your favorite relationship influencer online anytime.
But when was the last time you feed each other?
Have you made something together to symbolize how you want to see your marriage? Made a fragrance together?
We know couples remodel the bathroom and paint the kitchen together. We redid 2 bathrooms in 2 weekends. DIY projects test your marriage.
But that remodeling isn’t about your marriage. From Thursday to Monday, at the retreat, marriages were remodeled.
There was a couple present who planned to divorce. Like for real…She told him, “This retreat is paid for so I’m going, but when we get back…Deuces!”
They totally changed their minds. When you decide to pull away from anything pulling ya’ll apart, that’s definitely a remodeled marriage.
Love-building marriages require the folks in the marriage to show up. Be present. All in.
We knew it. Everyone present proved it.
Thank you for the lesson.
See ya soon,
THE HIM and Naaila
