Description

At the beginning of the relationship, we choose the partner we want to enjoy life’s journey with us. However, life gets in the way, and if not careful and intentionally, we drift apart. “Marriages, like a garden, take time to grow. But the harvest is rich unto those who patiently and tenderly care for the ground” from100 Prayers for Your Marriage. Similar to gardens, marriages thrive when they are carefully watered, cropped, and nurtured. Join us to learn how applying biblical principles can cultivate deeper intimacy, love, and respect in your marriage. You will hear personal stories of married couples who have turned challenging experiences into triumphant victories. They will show how a couple can genuinely mature into a sanctuary of compassion and grace for one another in a fun and interactive environment. Following an afternoon of biblical teaching and practical advice, enjoy dinner, dancing, and a fun-filled evening with your spouse at the Masquerade Ball. Door prizes are provided to some lucky winners! Sacred Garden HostsMichelange and Dr. Aliette St. Hilairehave been married for 35 years.
