The Art of Marriage Workshop
2016-04-28 18:45 - 2016-05-29 20:15 (America/Los_Angeles) | VCCF, 4001 Mission Oaks Blvd, Camarillo, CA, 93012, United States
MarriageWell presents The Art of Marriage in Camarillo every Thursday starting April 28 for 7 wks
God can turn any marriage into a masterpiece.
Every marriage is unique, expressed by the colorful personalities of each spouse and textured by the circumstances at play in their lives. Blending these to make marriage work is a divinely inspired art form — challenging to master but definitely worth the effort. In The Art of Marriage, we weave together expert teaching, engaging stories, man-on-the-street interviews, humorous vignettes and much more to portray the hope and beauty of God’s design for marriage, and now the same great content is available in a six-week study format. This video series will help propel you and your spouse to a new level of commitment, communication and intimacy. Our experienced small group leaders (Randy & Lynette Copp and Tyler & Melissa Rizer) will provide support and encouragement throughout the 7 wk class. The first class is an information and “get to know the group” session.
Topics addressed in this small-group series are:

Love Happens: God’s Purpose and Plan
Love Fades: Overcoming Isolation
Love Dances: Fulfilling Our Responsibilities
Love Interrupted: Communication and Conflict
Love Sizzles: Experiencing Real Intimacy
Love Always: Leaving a Lasting Legacy

About our small group leaders: Ron and Linda Conti have been married for 30 years. Both have suffered the loss of previous marriages – the result of bad decisions, adversity and discouragement. We know that marriage is fragile and vulnerable and we live in a culture that often supports dissolution above resolution. Ron and Linda have weathered the test of time by placing God at the center of their relationship and using the many tools made available, like the Art of Marriage. They have been leading marriage enrichment groups for the past 15 years. Ron is retired from a career in real estate and Linda is retired from a career in education, as a College Counselor.
