Marriage ministry

If you've been married for more than a month, you know marriage is amazing and wonderful, but it's also hard work.  It takes more than strong feelings; marriage takes intentionallity, effort, sacrifice, and commitment to make it last.  And just because you're both Christians does not make marriage any easier.  In fact it probably makes it harder.  Once you are married, God wants you to be with the person forever.


We have come up with a few resources that you and your spouse can use.  We are also always open to talking and helping in any way we can.  A great marriage is the foundation of family ministry!  Let us know if we can help!
