Divorce Recovery Workshop When you promised "for better or for worse," you probably considered illness, problems with children, financial difficulties. Chances are never imagined you might face betrayal or abuse. But it's not uncommon for marital trust to be shattered by secretive behavior, broken promises or worse, abusive behavior. Did you know that over 50 percent of Christian marriages end in divorce today, in America, for such reasons? People enter into their second marriage with the same behavior and attitudes they had in their first marriage. Changing spouses is no cure for bad relationships. If you're starting over, please understand the necessity for getting counseling with your new mate to learn the skills it takes to have a satisfying marriage. RRM's Divorce Recovery Workshop is held in the context of a supportive Christian community. This community provides acceptance, unconditional love, and confidentiality. We will be using the book "Starting Again", by Sandra Scott, as our guide for these six weeks. We will begin each week with a discussion of that week's chapter. Following a brief break, we will meet in small groups. Finally we will close our evening together with a short prayer. Leader: Liz Bunter. Reservations are needed and scholarships are available. You will learn new ways of interacting with your spouse, so you won't fall back into the old ways which led to your first divorce. Did we forget something? Matt 19:4-6 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,Forgot Something And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. KJV

Put Life Back into Your Marriage.In today's world it seems like there is never enough time in our day to accomplish everything that we would like to. Between the responsibilities that we have of raising a family, succeeding at work and keeping up with our own busy schedules, nurturing our marriage can easily move down on our list of priorities. Join other couples for a night of laughter, small groups, creative videos and a practical message that will help you have a healthier and more successful marriage. Each MarriedLife Live event is presented around one of the following Six Essentials of a Healthy Marriage. Trust God - We believe the number one essential is to allow God to control our lives and our marriages. Cultivate Communication - Feeling understood in your marriage is one of the greatest feelings a couple can have, yet feeling misunderstood can be one the greatest challenges in your marriage. We believe that good communication is a major component of a healthy marriage and we to help you to have great communication with your spouse. Nurture Romance - The power of romance and intimacy can be a marriages greatest ally or it can become its greatest enemy. We want to help couples recognize that we each have unique needs and remember that our spouse has unique needs as well. Celebrate Differences - God created men and women to be totally different. As couples we can use those differences to complement and serve each other or we can allow our difference to push us apart. We believe that couples should seek to understand, love and accept each other's differences. Hurry Home - Spend time together as a family is an important priority in a successful marriage. We believe that the grass is always greener where you water it so our schedules must reflect the priority of home. Finish Together - One essential that every healthy marriage needs is security. We believe that couples need to know that together we can work anything out.
