The Art of Marriage

The Art of Marriage Event consists of six video sessions typically held on a Friday night and Saturday (see session titles on the right).  These videos combine dramatic stories, real-life testimonies, expert interviews, humorous vignettes and other teaching methods to lay out God’s design for marriage in a fresh, engaging way.  Guests attending the event are each provided a manual with projects to help them apply the principles taught in each session, augmented by dozens of articles and additional content to help them dive deeper.  Over 175,000 people have attended one of over 3000 events held since its launch in February 2011!

Weekend to Remember

The Weekend to Remember is an annual marriage conference / weekend retreat held in locations across North America.  Here in Whitehorse, the closest location is in Anchorage, Alaska.  Instructions are on our web page on how to get the registration fee reduced 50%.  Basically we can car pool to Anchorage.  By the time we add registration, hotel, and transportation, you're probably looking at a cost of approximately $600 per couple.

Sacred Marriage

Sacred Marriage is a six weeks small group study based on an excellent book by the same title. Author Gary Thomas asks "what if God designed marriage to make us holy instead of happy?"

This is a unique book in that it looks at marriage from an entirely different perspective.  The six weekly sessions include a 20-25 minute video followed by discussion.

Thriving Family

Thriving Family is an online magazine published by Focus on the Family.  In it you will find many helpful articles on parenting, as well as a section on the various stages of child development.

To Love, Honor, and Vacuum

I stumbled upon this web page (I think there was a link to it on Facebook from Gary Thomas): To Love, Honor and Vacuum.  Don't let the title frighten you!  It's written by a woman for women.  Excellent reading on many topics for women.
Picture

The Generous Husband

The Generous Husband is a web site for men (much like the one above is for women).  Here men will find helpful information from another man.  Take a look when you have a chance.  Browse around.    Under "Pages" in the left column there is a drop down menu for more pages.  Check it out.

Focus on the Family - Parenting

I can think of no better resource for parenting information and support than Focus on the Family.  At this link you will find all manner of information, suggestions, resources and encouragement on your journey called parenthood!
