Christian Marriage Retreat - Must Have Essentials

Christian Marriage Retreat - Must Have Essentials
By Chess McDoogle

A Christian marriage retreat is a wonderful way to learn how to celebrate not only your own Christian marriage, but also relish in the tranquility, joy, and ecstasy of being surrounded by like minded Christian couples who all hold true the same values, ideals, and often goals (how to become a better Christian) that you have.

There are some essentials to bring along to a Christian marriage retreat that will enhance your experience. Mainly these should be items that are somehow "share-worthy" with the group of other Christian married couples.

1. Yahtzee. Well, alright, it doesn't have to be Yahtzee, but me and my Lovely always prefer Yahtzee. But essentially any sort of group board type game where fun can be had amidst a group of strangers. There really is nothing like a simple board game to do the trick. On our last Christian marriage retreat a couple had brought along their own manipulated Monopoly board game where instead of an old shoe or tire iron as game pieces, they had a dozen or so patron saints to choose from and instead of buying properties like Park Place or Marvin Gardens, you could buy the Vatican! Needless to say, hours of fun...

2. Your Christian Object. A Christian marriage retreat is part show and tell. Many people will bring along their favorite Christian object and share it amongst the group. Those without a Christian object often feel left out, wishing they would have brought something along to share during the Christian marriage retreat. Since we as followers of Christianity sometimes rely on material objects to enhance our religious experience, your Christian object should enhance something about the strong religious bond existing withing your own Christian marriage. Be it jewelry, sculpture, a certain candle to be lit, or even a powerful photograph, there are many options for a Christian object. I've even encountered someone who brought a vial of holy water from there hometown church, which they bring along with them everywhere and whenever they "need a little faith", apparently they would give a one finger dash of holy to there forehead. The vial was passed around at the Christian marriage retreat and we all had a little hometown splash!

3. Intimacy tools, literature, information. Often neglected at a Christian marriage retreat is shared information amongst couples about how to enhance intimacy within a Christian marriage. Mixing Christianity with marriage intimacy can be challenging and many questions abound. What a better way to educate yourselves and educate others by sharing in intimacy discussions. One easy method someone did at a Christian marriage retreat was pass out questioneers on how they enhance sexual intimacy within a Christian marriage. It was completely anonymous and at the end we all got copies of the answers. We certainly learned a lot, and found out more resources on where to learn more!

A Christian marriage retreat can be incredibly fun; not only a time to share, but a time to learn and find out how to be a better and more intimate Christian married couple!

Christian Meditation - Why It's Becoming Popular Christian Meditation - Why It's Becoming Popular By E. Raymond Rock Walk into any busy Zen center and you will more than likely find Christians practicing meditation. Many famous Christians, including Thomas Merton; Trappist monk, poet, writer and social activist, recommended meditation as a means of directly communicating with God. Whatever we can do to calm our worldly minds so that we can hear God, (through the noise of ourselves), is a good thing. Meditation is a form of concentrated, high-power prayer that can quickly bring you closer to God. When we are able to purify our hearts, we open to God in ways previously unapproachable. Before, when we were tied up in knots with all kinds of worries and concerns, (things that God views as silly), He would wonder w .. [Click to continue]

Only God Can Do This Only God Can Do This By Bob Faulkner The subject today is church unity. Most people point to John 17 when speaking of church unity, and so will I. Point one. This prayer of Jesus is addressed to God, not the church. There is nothing in this chapter that any man should try to do. Jesus asked His Father for grace on the church of all ages, and we believe the Father granted that grace. Point two. Specifically, the prayers for unity offered in John 17 were given to God. Unity of the type that Jesus prayed for MUST be created by God. When man attempts it, it starts looking like the old "Holy" Roman Empire, with its political correctness, its lack of toleration for dissension, its hierarchy, its made-to-order meetings, its uniforms, and its armies standing by ..
