Marriage Enrichment Retreat

Chioma and i spent a weekend at the annual "Marriage Enrichment Retreat" program sponsored by our church. It was a much needed break from all the busy-ness that sometimes robs couples of the time they need to take their marriages for a "tune-up". \

There was ample opportunity for soul searching, so much to learn from the other couples in attendance and of course plenty of couples-oriented entertainment. A few of my takeaways from the event are as follows:

- Courtship should never end after wedding

- Never go back to the trash to bring back any old mistakes and accuse your spouse of repeating them

- We often hear, but do not listen. This could be verbally, physically or emotionally

- Joint prayer is the highest form of communication

I hope you find at least one of these nuggets of wisdom useful in your own marriages.
