Attention all married couples, as well as those dating, separated, single or divorced!

On February 20th and 21st we will be holding the Love and Respect video marriage conference at WRBC. We are hoping that many from our church and community will take this opportunity to come and learn how to enrich their marriages, how to save them, or how to build them well from the start. 

The Love and Respect conference is conducted by world renown speakers Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and his wife Sarah. This dynamic and life-changing conference is impacting the world, resulting in the healing and restoration of countless relationships. 

What is Love and Respect?  These two words surface in the Bible from Ephesians 5:33 as the two key ingredients for a successful marriage. They teach that love best motivates a woman and respect most powerfully motivates a man. Dr. Emerson’s research reveals that during marital conflict a husband most often reacts when feeling disrespected and a wife reacts when feeling unloved. They asked 7000 people this question: when you are in a conflict with your spouse or significant other, do you feel unloved or disrespected?  83% of men said “disrespected”. 72% of women said, “unloved”. 

Though we all need love and respect, the felt needs differ during conflict and this difference is as different as pink is from blue!

Register, come and attend, and you will learn how to resolve conflict, dealing with the negative reactions. You will also learn how to motivate each other by meeting each other’s needs. Even if you feel helpless in your relationships you will grow in your understanding on how to handle an indifferent or unresponsive partner. 

The cost of the weekend is only $15 USD per person, if you register by February 9th. $20 per person after February 9th. This includes refreshments and a lite lunch on Saturday.

Registrations can also be paid directly to the church via check when you sign up in the foyer.
