MISSIONAL MARRIAGE

Please see the registration form below.

Missional Marriage equips people to live transformed and missional lives in, to and with their own families. 

The radical discipleship of Faithwalking challenges the comfort and assumptions of all participants’ marriages.  Some relationships are already scarred by the pain of the past or crippled by unhealthy patterns in the present.  We seek to support marriages and to strengthen practices of sacrificial love and healing between couples.  We truly believe that as couples experience God’s ideal of “one flesh” intimacy, they will be powerfully released to channel their gifts and energies toward a hurting world. 

Toward this end, we offer a three-day weekend retreat for couples to explore these issues.  The retreats are uniquely designed to bring healing and transformation to couples as they seek to follow Jesus in his mission to the world, both individually and together.  

Let us be clear:  Missional Marriage is not an effort to manipulate or dominate.  It is not a way for Faithwalking participants to pressure their spouses to support their own agendas, however noble those agendas may be.   

Instead, Missional Marriage will offer powerful and life changing opportunities for couples to:

• Explore their own individual awareness of mission and calling
• Dream together and separately about how God might want to use their lives to make a real difference in the world
• Learn how to feel and express true understanding and caring for their partners and, in turn, receive that understanding and caring into the broken parts of the relationship
• Share deeply with their partners about their own sense of personal mission and the emotions that go with it—fear and shame as well as passion and hope—without judgment or disapproval
• Think strategically about how to overlap, support, integrate and enhance each partner’s gifts, calling and mission within the supportive shelter of the marriage.
