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.

Let's talk about Mortgage Prepayment Penalties
Life happens, and people need to break their mortgage contract for various reasons. Paying a slightly higher monthly payment can mean insurance against a sky-high penalty.
Know Your Lender – Know how their pre-payment penalty is calculated prior to accepting that "lower" interest rate. The lower rate might save a few hundred dollars, but could result in tens of thousands in a payout penalty if you ever wanted to switch to a lower rate in the future.
Please reach out to me with any questions.
