God being the initiator of the union between a man and his wife wants the two continue to have a steadfast love throughout their marriage. However due to the many limitations and weaknesses that the human self has, it becomes quite hard to live in the will of God and this affects the marriage institution. Unfortunately there are many couples who have used various ways to strengthen their union but often times the ways at times even widen the gap between them. With so many challenges in the modern marriage, demanding lifestyles and drastic cultural changes keeping a marriage as God wants it, require some deliberate effort. One sure way of ensuring that you enjoy your marriage life in Gods will is attending a Christian based marriage retreat.
To start with you will be in a position to learn a few things from other Godly marriages. Ideally marriage retreats bring together people who have the same views, beliefs, and aspirations. This means that most of the couples have been going similar challenges in their respective unions and when they come together, they find solutions to each of the problem easily. This negates the belief that marriage retreats are only for newlyweds.
Another advantage of attending a marriage retreat which is founded on Christian values is getting a chance to come together with other people to form ties that purpose to glorify God using the marriage institution. Most couples fail to appreciate the fact that they are expected to glorify God using their union. To express His love for mankind ,God uses the image of imagery of marriage and states that Christ is the Groom while the church is the bride. Those couples who meet together are able to help others glorify Gog with their unions.
Finally when you attend a retreat you will have a chance to break from your social and formal work and focus on your marriage. This not only brings them closer but they are also able to set higher goals for their married lives.
Choosing marriage retreat that is suited for your needs goes a long way to enjoy the above advantages. You will consider how the retreat organizers are reputed by the public and the number of retreats they have organized in the past.
