Yesterday Brian and I attended Gary Chapman's A Growing Marriage Conference. I can't lie I had no idea what to expect. In fact, it wasn't until after we signed up (on Thursday) that I realized it was an allday event. Brian and I were both like...what is this thing going to be about and what are we going to do for 6 hours. Well, we actually had a really good time. We laughed and cried (okay, I cried) and we laughed some more all while learning tips to make our marriage the best that it can be. And, we've even started applying some of the things we've learned. For example, Brian has started putting the cap back on the toothpaste in exchange for me turning the lights off when I leave a room. Give and take. Simple stuff. Granted it's only been one day since the conference but it's a start. Whether you're recently engaged, have been married for 5 years like us or married for 40 years like my parents I encourage you to look into attending a marriage conference. It was truly a growing experience. The picture is of Emrie and Aiden at our church - which provided child care for couples wishing to attend the conference. Aiden was the oldest kid there so he ended up being Mrs. Celina's helper. She said he did a wonderful job. Way to go Big Brother!
