In case you’re worried
22nd August 2005
…that I have not recently posted anything, it is because this past weekend, my wife and I went away for a Couples’ Retreat with my church group. About eighty-odd couples went to the Desert Springs Resort & Spa, Palm Desert, CA.
In case observant readers suspect that my wife and I are couples’ retreat junkies, it just so happens that my church’s inaugural family and couples’ ministry retreat was scheduled barely two weeks after another couples’ weekend, one that we had planned and yearned to attend for a long time. When the opportunity presented itself for us to go to both of these events, we struggled with it for a little while before deciding that it would be great to be able to go to both. So, in a short space of two weeks, we were able to get renewed, refreshed and recommitted to our marriage, intimacy, love and couple-hood.
And, we absolute loved it! It was great! We had three fabulous days. Although most of the things that the speaker talked about during the sessions were familiar stuff to both of us, having attended numerous marriage enrichment weekends and relationship seminars over the years, we found the time set aside to talk to one another, and to listen to one another to be invaluable.
