Simply Love
True love knows no limit in giving more, being more, forgiving more. In marriage, husbands and wives are called to love one another without limits and to not lose sight of the fact that they are on the same team. When tempted to calculate or complain, they must simply love.
In this talk, husbands and wives will be challenged and inspired to live out their wedding vows day by day. Kathleen and Troy will offer practical and tangible insights to live a healthy and faith-filled marriage amidst the joys and sorrows of married life, while encouraging couples to foster the important habit of praying every day together as a couple as a means to enrich and grow their marriage.
Keynote Speakers: Elizabeth and Nathan Schlueter
