Description

A local weekend retreat for your marriage on Valentine’s Day weekend. Make plans early to make sure you can come! Marriage is a work of art, but if we are honest sometimes each spouse paints a stroke that doesn’t look so pretty, the picture fades over time, or it simply needs some touching up.  We hope you will join us here at Bethany Bible Church for an Art of Marriage event to discover what God has to say about making your marriage a masterpiece.  Through six different video sessions, a workbook, and most significantly private projects for you and your spouse to complete, we hope that this weekend away is a step towards creating that masterpiece.   Click here for a trailer on YouTube Special Pricing is in Effect: From today up till January 31st the cost is $25.00 per couple February 1st to the day of event the cost is $30.00 per couple Price at the door on February 12th is $35.00 per couple  (If cost in an issue we have complimentary tickets available.  We want you to come without finances holding you back.  Please click on the “tickets” button and select “complimentary”.  Hope to see you there!) FAQs Q: What is The Art of Marriage? A: The Art of Marriage is a Christian marriage event based on a six-session video series produced by FamilyLife.  The sessions present God's design for relationships and features some of the most respected pastors and experts on marriage and family enrichment. Through the use of expert teaching, engaging stories, real-life testimonials, and humorous vignettes, these inspiring and powerful resources have encouraged over 700,000 people since launching in February 2011. Q: What are the video sessions like?A: Rather than simply filming a live event at a location such as a hotel ballroom or church, we specifically designed the event to work in a video setting. FamilyLife has woven together expert teaching, engaging stories, real-life testimonies, and humorous vignettes in a video composition to help couples fully experience God’s design for marriage. Q: Can we bring children?A: We are asking that children not attend with you for this weekend.  The goal is for you and your spouse to get away together and have time to connect.  We recommend you find a trusted sitter, relative, grandparent to watch your kids so that you can devote your time and attention to your spouse. Q: Will I have to engage in group discussion?A: No, this is a time for you and your spouse.  Time will be provided for you and your spouse to complete meaningful projects together.  These projects are an essential part of the event experience. The projects allow you to immediately apply what you’ve learned from the videos to your marriage.  FamilyLife reports that many past attendees say the projects were the best part of the event. Q: Can singles attend The Art of Marriage video event?A: ABSOLUTELY! In fact, we HIGHLY recommend it. The sessions will give individuals a clear understanding of what a marriage commitment truly means, and The Art of Marriage is also a great foundation for engaged couples who are soon to be married. Q: I have been divorced. Will I feel uncomfortable at this event?A: We understand that divorce is a reality, and this event has been designed with that reality in mind. The content focuses on the condition of your current marriage. We also recognize that even in such an environment, you might feel uncomfortable at times because of past memories and regrets that are stirred up. Our prayer is that you would come to this event excited to make your current marriage a strong, healthy, lasting one, even if it means dealing with some painful memories. Q: We have a great marriage. Why should we attend the event or series?A: Every marriage relationship is in a constant state of movement: You are either growing closer together or further apart. Unfortunately, it seems that the natural inclination of human hearts is to drift apart over time. Every marriage needs a tune-up from time to time, no matter how well it might be running. This event is designed to strengthen and enrich even the best of marriages. Both also serve as great reminders that you are God’s gift to each other. Q: What if I register and for some reason can’t attend? Can I get a refund?A: We will do our best to accomadate you and unexpected changes to your plans.
