Weekend To Remember

If you've ever considered going to marriage counseling, a marriage conference or just want to work on your marriage - I highly recommend "Weekend to Remember" by Family Life. Mark and I just got back from one in SA this weekend. It is Christian based marriage advice with a strong emphasis on the Bible and God. Most of it will not be of use to you if you don't believe in God. I will admit that I am not a strongly religious person and my faith is constantly being tested. However, I still feel it gave excellent advice on how to strengthen our marriage and actually helped to strengthen my beliefs.


There are individual parts that you work on and discuss later with your husband. Honestly in looking at the "projects" I feared that there would be A LOT of eye rolling and resistance. I was very surprised by how open he was with me and how much we were able to "get out". Many of the things we talked about will be especially helpful after the new baby is here.

It remains to be seen how much this actually helps our marriage but I feel it's a good start. Definitely better than the direction I felt we were going... If the conference sounds like too much for you right now or just too expensive, there are many books recommended on the Family Life website that might be of interest to you. Of course they sell them at the conference (everyone has to make money right!?) but I plan to look for a few of them at Half Price Books.
