Get Your Marriage in Focus

Join us for this 1-day (live and in-person) seminar to Get Your Marriage in Focus!

You will have a clear picture of what areas your marriage needs focus on; Communication, Conflict, Finances, Parenting, or Sex? We will cover all of these areas…and more!

We will share proven skills on how to get more satisfaction in your special focus areas. Then you’ll have time to talk about it…with each other! This seminar is all about you connecting.

You will have uninterrupted time to talk, imagine that! We’ll be available during this time to coach you along.

Is your marriage in a good place? Great. Did you know the best time to invest in your relationship is when you are in a good season?

Is your marriage in a season of struggle and not connecting? Why stay stuck when you can learn maybe one new way to approach a subject that can change the direction of where you are going! It’s amazing how changing one little thing in the way you communicate with each other can make all the difference!

What it is:
  • Personalized to your marriage
  • For marriages that need a little refreshing/vitality
  • Time to focus on each other
  • Learn how to develop (or keep) the vibrance in your relationship
What it is not:
  • You won’t be lost in a sea of hundreds of people
  • You will not be asked to share your deepest darkest thoughts in front of others
  • This is not for marriages that are dealing with: Deep broken trust issues, Affairs, Addiction or Abuse Recovery
Who will benefit the most?
  • Newlyweds
  • Empty nesters
  • Married a LONG time (you decide that #)
  • Remarried
  • Dating
  • Engaged

Your Marriage…What’s in Your Rearview Mirror? (RVM)

Taking a moment to reflect on your marriage is much like looking in a rearview mirror! There are blissful horizons and memorable sunsets that bring joy to each of your souls. The history of your travels together reminds each couple of progress, excitement, and dreams that have been fulfilled.

Your journey of marriage may have regrets; ignored detours that could have led to great adventures, and fond celebrations. Often what is seen in reflections are Road Blocks, Construction Zones, Ten-Car Pileups, Bridge Crossings and missed Rest Stops.

Stop the hectic drive of family life for a period of refueling, restoration, and renewal. With a passion to encourage marriages, join Gil and Brenda Stuart as they share about hazards, rest stops and a ten-car pileup! Their dual presentation style addresses, head-on, tough issues. Rather than waiting until they get home (and forget), couples will have time to talk with each other as new concepts are shared. Any marriage will benefit and gain insight from this seminar.

You will laugh, be challenged and encouraged. Enjoy this rest stop!

Session One: Bridge Crossings

Session Two: Rest Stops

Saturday

Hume Lake Spring Marriage Retreat

“Gil and Brenda are such a joy to work with! It is rare to have a couple willing to both handle the speaking for an event, yet also give so much time and energy into individual appointments and conversations with our guests. We consistently heard about their kindness and humility in helping couples work through issues in their marriage. They teach in a practical and highly applicable manner and made a great impression on our guests.”
