Learn to Live...Learn to Love
with Drs. Rand and Mariene Oman

Preview of Sessions

Friday 

Session One:  7:30 – 9:00 p.m.

Drs. Rand and Mariene Oman will share some of their journey of forty years of marriage.  They are an example of the title of our weekend.  We learn to love as
we learn to live our lives, submitted first to God and then to each other.

Saturday

Session Two:  9:00 – 10:15 a.m.

What does God require of us?  “To do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”  Micah 6:8  How do we do this in our marriages?  Rand and Mariene will share man to men and woman to women on what this can look like in our practical, daily lives if we choose to “learn to live and to love.”

Session Three:  10:30 – 11:45 a.m.

“Speaking the truth in love”  Ephesians 4:15.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  A marriage retreat would not be complete without addressing the number one problem in most marriages today – our difficulty in communicating clearly with each other.  You will learn some basic skills that will help you share your real thoughts and feelings with each other.

Session Four:  2:15 – 3:15 p.m.

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself:  “What makes me feel loved?”  Have you ever wondered:  “Why can’t I seem to forgive him?”  Have you said to yourself:  “She isn’t really sorry she hurt me!”?  During this session, Mariene will talk about how each person has a unique “language” of love and apology.  She will teach you how to speak each others language – a vital ingredient in learning to love!
