Host Stories and Responses:
- It was amazing. We had over 80 people. A husband in the 50+ age group committed his life to Jesus! There were numerous comments about husbands and wife’s marriages and attitudes being changed. One mom of many children said she and her husband are talking again. Everything loved the entertaining format. I was surprised that there was not a speaker at a podium in the whole conference! It was so fast paced and engaging that we joked that it was ADHD-proof!
- The videos and conference were AMAZING. 90 couples attended, and 9 individuals indicated that they had received Christ. Praise the Lord!
- It was very well received and God obviously worked through it. Of the 54 couples in attendance, we know of 3 that were separated or on the brink of divorce that were reconciled and 4 that were saved, 3 of whom asked the church for follow up.
- Our senior pastor and our Elders were overwhelmed with the turnout, and how the event was put on. We are guessing that approximately 2/3 of attendees were from our church, and the rest from other churches, (or no church at all). I challenged those couples to put on this event in their own churches.
Guest Stories and Responses:
- My wife and I enjoyed every moment of it. We have been married for 25 years, have two fantastic sons that are grown now and are working desperately to reconnect. Just a few months ago we were separated due to our unhappiness together. We were already back together before coming to the conference but have still been struggling. We plan to go back thru the workbook and continue to work on our relationship.
- I’m thrilled to come to this. It was a great refresher for seeking to have a Christ-centered marriage.
- This was the best $50 we’ve ever spent!
- This was the best marriage enhancer we’ve been to.
- FamilyLife accomplished much more than just putting together a Biblically-based, deep, hard-hitting, humorous, instructive, artistic, technically flawless marriage conference. You introduced people to the Savior. You have impacted and furthered the Kingdom of God to the praise and honor of Him whom sits on the throne. Thank you once again!
- Many couples feel that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. There is not any reason why the happiest couple to the one in the most trouble should not attend….this was a Do or Die weekend for my marriage – I have been truly blessed!!
- This was the best marriage enhancer we’ve been to.
- This has made a difference in my life and it probably saved our marriage. I’m so very thankful for that. I will fight for her and our family. THANK YOU!!
- This was affordable and not a huge time commitment for those with families. It started with the nuts and bolts and made an excellent presentation of the Gospel. It was so good for anyone at any place in their marriage.
- Overall, this was hope-renewing. I learned that the power of the resurrection applies to strained marriages.
