Perhaps there is no greater determinant of satisfaction in marriage than the expectations we have of this intimate union. Our marriages may thrive if expectations are fulfilled, yet some marriages crumble under the weight of unreasonable, unrealistic or simply unexamined expectations. Whether you are newly married or seasoned marriage veterans, recognizing and evaluating your expectations for your marriage is an invaluable journey to take together. “Where Did I Put That Map?” will take you on that journey of discovery and growth as you intentionally invest in strengthening your bond of intimacy. Rooted in the Word of God, reliable research, and your own valuable insights, your weekend retreat will be filled with insightful information, stimulating discussions, energizing activities, and unstructured free time for recreation, reflection and bonding. So join me and my wife, Melanie, as we rediscover, carefully unfold, and reevaluate the maps for our marriages. You’ll be glad you did!
