MB Church Hosting Marriage Seminar from Hesston Record, January 26, 2012
The Hesston Mennonite Brethren Church will be hosting a video-seminar on The Art of Marriage.
Couples must register for the seminar by Tuesday, Jan. 31 and the seminar will take place Feb. 10 and 11 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 10 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Feb. 11.
There is a fee of $25 for the seminar.
Pastor JL Martin will be coordinating the weekend event.
“I think this is something that is for any couple, dating, engaged or married. There are things that newly-weds can do to develop good habits and things for couples married 30 to 50 years on how to keep their relationship strong," he said.
Martin said the weekend will focus on communication and conflict.
“It's video-based and uses humor, as well as some skits, to get the content across, as well as real-life stories of couples," he said.
Martin said issues range from the death of a child to every-day communication needs.
“One story is a couple that the wife was playing with the kids, and they needed a bath. She took one up and put him in the tub, and the dog started barking. She went down to check on the dog and when she came back, the kid had drowned," he said.
Martin said there will be six sessions over the weekend: Love Happens, Love Fades, Love Dances, Love Interrupted, Love Sizzles and Love Always.
Martin said the weekend offers inspiration and tools to strengthen relationships,
“The biggest benefit is it encourages couples to invest in their relationship and know that it requires time and energy, no matter what stage of life they are in," he said.
Martin said that even though the seminar is being held at the Mennonite Brethren Church, it is open to the public.
“This is something we want to welcome anyone in the community to. We hope people will come and join us," he said
