This past Friday night at Mt Vernon, we had Table for Two, a periodic event we have for married couples where the church watches the kids and the married couples get a date designed to strengthen their marriage. Thankful to all the volunteers that helped make this happen! This past Friday, we introduced The Great Date Experiment from Northpoint Community Church. A healthy and successful church based out of Atlanta, Northpoint operates their MarriedLife marriage ministry on six great principles. The principles are so great I want to share them with you. Thanks Northpoint!

Trust God

If having a healthy marriage seems impossible, it’s because it is. But, we have a loving Heavenly Father who wants to make it possible. We believe the number one essential of a healthy marriage is to allow God to control our lives. Our number one goal is for you to … Trust God

Hurry Home

It is essential to a healthy marriage that your time together be a priority. For marriages to thrive, schedules must reflect the huge priority of home. In other words, cheat at work if you must, but do not cheat at home. In fact, we pray for you to … Hurry Home

Cultivate Communication

Perhaps, there is nothing worse than feeling misunderstood. And perhaps, there is nothing better than feeling understood … being known. Good communication is paramount to a good marriage. We want you to have great communication with your spouse. We believe it is essential for you to … Cultivate Communication

Nurture Romance

…The power of romance, sex, and intimacy can be marriage’s biggest ally, or it’s biggest enemy. We greatly desire our spouses to remember that we have certain needs. MarriedLife believes the goal should be to remember first that our spouses have certain needs. We feel this is the best way to … Nurture Romance

Celebrate Differences

Why do some couples’ differences pull them apart, and other couples’ differences draw them together? No matter which couple you think you are, MarriedLife believes that celebrating these differences can only strengthen the marital bond.

God designed men and women to be very different. As couples, we can use those differences to complement and serve each other. Often we try to change our spouses in the name of love. We believe a better option is to love our spouses, even if they never change. We feel it’s crucial for couples to seek to understand and accept each other’s differences. We want you to … Celebrate Differences

Finish Together

More and more people are putting divorce on the table as an option. One essential thing every healthy marriage needs is security. People need to know that together as a couple, they can work out anything. We want couples to … Finish Together
