Marriage Ministries
The greatest human need is love - to give it and to get it!

We believe in the importance of supporting and strengthening marriages. A happy marriage takes more than luck, and staying married takes a lifelong ebb and flow of giving and taking. Between the distractions of your careers, the kids, in-laws, money, and other responsibilities, your marriage gets set on a low flame and is easily forgotten about. FHCoG offers several options to keep your marriage happy and alive and - off that back burner.

We offer:

  • “Couple Enrichment Getaway Weekends” (see details below)
  • Bible study for married couples
  • Special events & activities
  • Small groups (focused on marriage topics)

             Marriage Mentoring

  • Pre-marital preparation for engaged couples
  • For couples that are seriously dating and considering marriage
  • Marriage mentoring for married couples

    What is Marriage Mentoring?

It is helping and preparing couples considering marriage or those planning to marry in the future. For married couples, it is a gentle hand that comes alongside to help support you, in God’s union of marriage. Mentors have been trained to help navigate the marital journey. Through their practical experience they are dedicated to the investment of time in you and your marriage.

If you would like someone who has “been there and lived through it” to come alongside you for friendship and guidance – contact the church office. Mentors encourage good communication skills and a mutually growing, Christ-centered relationship.

“Couple Enrichment Weekend”

Sometimes the most neglected couples in a church are the couples “doing just fine.”

These are the couples who are not coping with a current crisis, their children are not acting out more than usual, and they are not undergoing a major financial struggle. They are good citizens, go to work everyday, and attend or volunteer their time at church. From every indication, they are committed to each other, care about each other, and love each other.

If doing “just fine” describes your relationship – don’t miss out on something great.

In the international best seller, “Good to Great” by Jim Collins, he explains “why some companies make the leap to greatness while others don’t.” He describes that some companies try for greatness by working harder in the same old ways, while others take a leap and succeed at greatness.  “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.”

The same is true for marriage.

We invite you to take your marriage from good to great this year at a FHCoG Enrichment weekend. The atmosphere is designed for you to have fun learning more about yourself, your spouse, and how God fits into your marriage. It is not group therapy and everything you share is done privately—between only you and your spouse. You will be able to concentrate on each other free of distractions, pressures, and tensions.

Coming - Spring of 2012

Couple comments from past Enrichment Weekends
“Wow – what an eye opener for our relationship”

“The memory of this very special weekend is something we will always treasure.”

“The weekend was an opportunity for us to get away from all the distractions and concentrate on each other.”

“We learned a lot more about each other even after 25 years of marriage. All couples should find the time to experience this.”

“The weekend reminded us of why we fell in love with each other in the first place. I highly recommend the FHCoG marriage retreat to any couple, no matter where they are at in their relationship.”
