Seriously though, we have a good strong marriage but this is because we attend things like the AGME weekend. I have shared in the past that I believe a couple must value their marriage and a big part of that is spending time building a stronger relationship.

This past weekend was great for so many ways. We got to spend it together without ministry or the kids. I love both but we do need time away for just each other. to make things better we stayed at a nice hotel right on the beach at Virginia Beach. The weather was almost perfect. The water was a bit cold, which is to be expected this time of year, but it was sunny and comfortably warm all weekend. Our room was ocean side so we got to watch the ocean a lot. I also got some great fish tacos, which I’ve been craving.

The AGME focuses on a single mode of communication, and it really helped us to talk about some areas that we haven’t been able to deal with this weekend. I feel closer to my wife and that is always good. The mode of communication is about writing letters to each other. Of course most people know that this helps to formulate words so you are less likely to say things you will later regret. Then talking about the letters together.

I would personally recommend a AGME weekend to any married couple. Especially if the others have such a nice location.

Have you attended any kind of marriage retreat or seminar? Did they help build a strong marriage? What important thing did you learn/experience?
