The Marriage Enrichment seminar compiles a decade’s worth of extensive Bible study, teaching, counseling, & real life experiences (the good, the bad, & the ugly) as a husband and wife.
The seminar examines Biblical principles that pertain to this challenging, yet rewarding, relationship and also focuses on how to practically apply these principles in everyday life.
Host a weekend or multi-night seminar, or plan an off-site retreat to strengthen and enrich the marriages within your church and community.
These seminars, which have been presented to over 3500 participants nationally and internationally, make a very effective outreach ministry for your church.
Homebuilders Ministry was such a blessing to me and my wife!!!!!
Wow! This was much needed! Fantastic speakers and some great information we can definitely use in our marriage. Thank you so much! I highly recommend every couple make time to attend one of these retreats. You will learn so much!
I really enjoyed getting to listen to people who were experts in their fields. Very relevant for all walks of marriage.
The HomeBuilder’s Retreat is very special and important to me personally. The topics are so valuable and timely; it is the best marital/family information (according to the bible) that I receive every year.
“I love the HomeBuilders Retreat! I am married but my husband is a non-believer. We are going through a hard time in our marriage and just celebrated 17 years. I was hesitant at first about going as I saw a lot of couples attending the retreat. God spoke to me and opened my heart to go with my sister Sue! No matter what season in life we are in, God is good and He always provides us with people that serve Him. It’s for everyone. The retreat is uplifting and remind me of who I am…..living… Read more
We had the best time. We’ve already begun to make changes in the household with not only oursleves but with our children as well. My wife and I are so blessed to have been able to participate in Homebuilders that we’ve told our friends about it as well. ~ Tyler Boos
Year after year we have returned to the HomeBuilders Retreat with an expectancy of being challenged with new ideas and perspectives… we always return home refreshed with new commitments to each other and to the Lord.
When my wife and I first heard about the retreat, we had just joined a new church and kept hearing all these folks talking about what a beautiful place they had been in Arkansas, our favorite place. The excitement over getting to spend some time away with their spouse for some alone time helped them to work through some of life’s challenges that there didn’t seem to be enough time for at home. Then I heard how they were able to be a part of classes that talked about the finer points of Bibli… Read more
We enjoyed the retreat and needed it so badly. It has rejuvenated our relationship and allowed us to re-focus on our priorities.
This was great for my wife and me. We had time alone away from kids, work, and daily stress to focus on each other and our marriage. Much needed in this season of our lives. Thank you.
Dubs Byers If you take $50 a month and put it in a jar and save for 30 years, you would have $18,000. If, however, you take $50 a month and invest it and get a reasonable return on your investment, you would have over $60,000 at the end of 30 years. The difference is how you invest your money. The same concept is true with your time. If you live from day to day and just try to survive over the short term, you will reach your mature years with far less of a meaningful life investment than if you purposely invested your time in the right areas. This workshop is not about daily planning, it is about life planning, and how you can maximize the investment of your time to pay off greater dividends for your marriage, your children and YOU.
Jaycob Kramer Dr. J. Allan Petersen introduced a concept called “The Marriage Box”. The idea is that every married couple has a marriage box that they believe is full of love, romance, sex, connection, laughter, and security; but the reality is every couple begins with an empty marriage box. You only have access to the tools that are put into the box. Many marriages are suffering today because they have not been given the right tools for managing a marriage relationship. During this session, you will be given some basic and advanced tools that will infuse great communication, connection, and conflict resolution in your marriage. Todd Sadowski The goal of “Foundational Finances” is to give you new eyes for seeing the world and your finances. We are covering the very core principles that may change everything you know about money. The concepts we will cover will put you on the right path toward financial freedom. This year’s class is designed to appeal to the person just getting started with their finances and those already well on their way. Ross & Amy McBroome Ever find yourself running endlessly from one of the kid’s activity to another? Are you too busy for date night? Not enough money left at the end of the week for offering. Can’t find any time at the end of the day to read your Bible. Do you feel so run ragged that you’re doing everything but not really accomplishing anything? Maybe the issue is not the calendar but centering your home. This session is a “Home Checkup”. Is your Parenting God centered or child centered? What about your marriage, health, finances or you own daily walk? It’s time for your “Checkup”. Dr. Eric Spann In a recent survey taken for a church marriage retreat, in daily medical practice, and in surveying pastors and teachers, the overwhelming complaint that this physician deals with regarding marital and life stress is time stress and overload. Just like all other important life issues — for which there are is direction, promise and hope in Scripture — the issue of stress, fatigue, and overload are well treated in the Word. We will address the personal and family trials and Biblical and scientific truths regarding time management and stress this year — so that the mistakes of 2017 don’t become the crises of 2018. Larry & Lorinda Fincher Currently 40% of families are Blended i.e. families that are formed by the remarriage of a divorced or widowed person and that includes one or more children. Although the same Biblical principles apply to blended families as biological families, the application is more complex. In this session we will not only look at the complexities but will address some solutions.
