The Statistics Sound the Alarm:
Over 50% of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce.
The number of people getting married each year is declining.
Co-habitation, a primary contributor to divorce, is on the rise.
The cost of divorce to taxpayers is over $150 billion annually.
Our experience here at Redeemer Church is that there is a high level of need for help and support for married couples and their families. In our own congregation each week, we receive a large number of prayer requests involving marital issues and family relationships. An increasing number of married couples are seeking counseling with Jackie Himelright, our licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. So, how do we turn the tide? How do we rekindle marriages and inspire couples in our congregation and in our community to make God the center of their relationships? Research shows that the local church is often the first place married couples will look for help when things go wrong.
To help meet this need, we are planning a special event in February, 2012 called The Art of Marriage. It will take place on Friday evening February 10th and during the day on Saturday February 11th here at Redeemer Church. Unlike traditional marriage conferences that may feature only one speaker, The Art of Marriage offers insight by some of the most respected and influential experts on marriage and family in one setting. This 6-session DVD video event presents engaging stories, real-life testimonies, interviews, and humorous vignettes to help couples of all ages fully experience God’s design for marriage.
