His side of the story...

     The wife and kids were gone and I was left with an empty house. It was GREAT!

     I seized the opportunity to watch all the movies my wife wouldn’t watch with me and eat fast food at every meal.

     After watching the last movie on my list and wolfing down a double-cheeseburger, I decided I should redeem the time with something constructive. I decided I should take some extra time in prayer and Bible study.

     As I studied, God showed me something new. It was nothing I was looking for and nothing I expected. I felt my marriage was fine. We had weathered difficult storms and we were still together. We had our ups and downs, but what marriage hasn’t? I was comfortable with the way things were.

     In one night, that all changed.

     That one night changed my relationship with God, the relationship with my wife and every other area of my life. Looking back now, it was a revelation I had not sought, but one I truly needed.

     At the Returning to the Garden Marriage Retreat, we will share with you the principles that God has shown us and teach you how you can easily apply them to your life.

     Men, this retreat is not a “touchy-feely, get-in-touch-with-your-emotions” event. When you attend you will be challenged, as I was, to answer the call of Returning to the Garden.
