Marriage Conference: The Marriage of Your Dreams
Oct

10:00 PM22:00

Marriage Conference: The Marriage of Your Dreams

Do you want to experience the marriage of your dreams? We’ll be watching pastor, marriage counselor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp teach us in his upcoming marriage event, The Marriage of Your Dreams. Paul Tripp has been married for nearly 50 years and will help you dream bigger, love better, and experience a deeper relationship with God and your spouse than ever before. Discover how to experience the marriage of your dreams–the one that God intended–by getting on the same page as the Bible!

In four brand-new sessions, we’ll cover

  1. Disappointed Dreamers: No matter how long you have been married, Dr. Tripp will help to realign your expectations so you aren’t discouraged and disappointed by the reality of your relationship.

  2. The Spouse Of Your Dreams: Learn how to treat your husband or wife with integrity and faithfulness so they fully entrust themselves to your care. As a bonus, you’ll receive Dr. Tripp’s trust questionnaire worksheet to work through with your spouse or fiancé. 

  3. What Dreams Are Made Of: After four decades of counseling marriages, Dr. Tripp knows why couples fail to experience the marriage of their dreams: they point the finger of blame and hold grudges. Instead, discover how to fight for your marriage by practicing confession and forgiveness each day.

  4. All You Need Is (Cruciform) Love: There are many definitions of love out there, but you only need to follow one example: the Cross of Christ. As a bonus, you’ll receive Dr. Tripp’s worksheet, 24 Things That Love Is And Does, to remind you each day how to practically love your spouse like Jesus.

Through this study, you’ll gain a biblical framework for facing life’s challenges and be better equipped to care for others in theirs.

If you’re a follower of Jesus, this will strengthen your walk.
If you’re in relationships of any kind—married, parenting, mentoring, or ministering—this is for you.

Whether you’re a new believer or have walked with Christ for years, you’ll find this series both practical and deeply relevant. And if you’re exploring faith, you’ll see the transforming power of the Gospel in everyday struggles.
