In today’s Springboard for Your Family, I’m really excited to tell you about an upcoming marriage retreats presented by InLight, Inc. InLight, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping folks have better marriages by offering a series of retreats. They started up in Lake of the Ozarks back in 2000, but with so much success have branched out into other locations.
InLight, Inc. presently has one retreat with remaining openings in 2009. It is in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri on October 16-18, 2009. Yes, that says 2009. It is only a matter of weeks away. However, I just got off the phone with Mark Broyles, President of InLight, Inc. and he says there are still about 5 openings. Don’t miss out and don’t wait until 2010. Get in there right now. Not to mention, this is the cheapest of their retreats. Check it out right away.
They have two retreats scheduled in 2010. One is in Chattanooga, TN on March 12-14, 2010. The other is in Howey-in-the-Hills, FL on July 30-August 1, 2010.
The retreat is entitled “Fireproof Your Marriage.” They have purchased the rights to show the movie publicly. The entire retreat will get to watch the movie and then the classes will all focus on aspects of the movie that can really help married couples.
Classes include “Differences Between Men and Women,” “Forgiveness,” “Showing God’s Love to Your Spouse,” and “The Covenant Nature of Marriage.” At each retreat there is time given to allow the couples to spend time on their own, getting to know each other better, discussing the workshops, or just spending time together seeing the sights in the nearby area.
Trust me, you want to be part of this retreat. I just found out about these new retreats this weekend. Marita and I are working to see if our schedules can be arranged to join. You won’t want to miss this great weekend of marriage improvement either. Whether your marriage is in trouble or whether you are just trying to provide some more protection from the fires Satan is going to throw your way, these retreats will be great for your marriage.
I hope to give you some insight into these retreats over the next few weeks by providing some guest posts by the men and women who are integral in putting on this retreat. But don’t wait for those posts. Head over to InLight’s website and get your registration form right now. Don’t miss out because you didn’t sign up quickly enough.
