We hosted five couples in our home a

few weeks ago for fellowship and to get

to know each other better. After enjoy-

ing yummy appetizers and desserts, we

settled into a round of FamilyLife’s

game, Spouse-ology. Doug and I had

played Spouse-ology with FamilyLife

new staff couples a year ago, andthought this would be a great way to

build these new friendships.

We had no idea that this night would

turn in to soooo much FUN! We played

an entire round, which consists of ques-

tions being asked to either the wife or

husband, then seeing if the spouse

agreed, or picked the same answer

(think the old “Newlywed Game”!”). There are also “penalties” for getting an-

swers wrong (more fun!) and special

challenges, where spouses must work to-

gether (stage a two-minute drama, etc…).

We crowned a winner, and being sensitive

to the end-time I had put in the invitation,

thought that we were wrapping up….NO!

Everyone wanted to play another entire

round! We laughed and laughed and all ofthe couples suggested we do this several

times per year!! What a perfect way to con-

nect with others (and your spouse!)……

You can order “Spouse-ology”

through the FamilyLife Resource

Center at shop.familylife.com!

Thank you for your partnership,

“For 20 years, we have been like 2 children in a

toddler swimming class – hanging out in the

shallow end of the pool, splashing a lot, generat-

ing a lot of non-productive activity, so proud we

can “swim”. Now we have the encouraging

tools and drive to head to the deep end of the

pool!”

“I can’t describe it, major affect on our marriage.

We are going through a divorce right now. We

are calling off the divorce and changing our

lives to commit to each other and to Christ.”

“It was profound – we finally talked about is-

sues we had buried for years! We laughed,cried and got real!”

These are actual quotes from couples who

attended FamilyLife Weekend to Remember

Getaways this month! We celebrate all that

God is doing through FamilyLife to strengthen

marriage. Almost 10,000 people around the

country attended WTR’s this Spring. We have

heard from so many of you who would like to

attend, but haven’t been able to yet..

make this your year!

For this reason I kneel before the Father,

from whom every family in heaven and on

earth derives its name.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may

strengthen you with power through his

Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ

may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and estab-

lished in love, may have power, together

with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how

wide and long and high and deep is the loveof Christ, and to know this love that sur-

passes knowledge—that you may be filled to

the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably

more than all we ask or imagine, according

to his power that is at work within us, to

him be glory in the church and in Christ Je-

sus throughout all generations, forever andever! Amen. Ephesians 3:14Ephesians 3:14Ephesians 3:14Ephesians 3:14----21212121
