Marriage Tune Up

Marriage experts say the number one cause of an unhealthy marriage is being too busy, out of touch at a 'heart to heart' level. Falling in love is easy but staying in love is something special. The bible says without love we have nothing; life is meaningless. Love is a never-ending journey that is renewed daily. When love is ignored it begins to slip away. Many couples spend everything they have on their wedding and honeymoon and next to nothing on the rest of their married lives together. The ability to love and be loved is essential to knowing true happiness. It will determine the quality of your marriage. A marriage tune-up is an invaluable opportunity to get on the same page with your spouse. It will help you to restore faulty foundations in your relationship and make a good marriage even better. Our marriageÊtune upsÊare structured in two parts. Part one is for married couples as well as those preparing for marriage. Part two is for married couples only. Topics discussed include:
