We look at examples of covenants in the Bible and how this pattern is the basis for Christian marriage.

In this session we look at parenting and the various stages of child development with practical tips on raising well-balanced, confident children. Mid-Life Mid-life can be a time of re-evaluation of how life has been going and whether or not it has measured up to the expectations we may have placed upon ourselves. This can be the stage of life when the stresses of living can reach all-time highs causing some people to act irrationally. Relax, there is a way through this sometimes confusing time.

Being Biblically based, this session will help couples to enhance this area of their marriage without causing anyone embarrassment.
