SCOC Marriage Retreat: Rethinking the Meaning of Marriage: Human Fantasy VS God's Reality
Some couples enjoy an experience of relative bliss in their marriage. Others suffer from profound levels of relational pain and disillusionment. Wherever you find yourselves as a couple, it’s probably safe to say most of our disappointment in marriage comes from unmet expectations. Let's face it. Many of us married a fantasy. Some of what we hoped to be true, before we married the love of our life, gave way to a difficult reality; you married a flawed human! The good news is that this is actually part of God's plan to help us grow spiritually and bring glory to Him in our marriages. This class is designed to help you to reframe the meaning of marriage and find joy in the journey.
