Fanning the Flames of Marriage
There are some who think that if a relationship requires work, it is not really love. We like to think that love is spontaneous; that love just happens. But the best things in life require an investment of thoughtfulness, time, energy, and practice. Instead of just sitting back and waiting for a relationship to grow, during this weekend we are going to be exploring and remembering some of the primary fuels that warm a healthy marriage such as friendship and communication, encouragement and forgiveness, all elements that help keep marriage fires burning.
Durwin (Lead Pastor at Hillside Community Church in Coquitlam) and Angel Gray have been married for 19 years and have two middle-school aged boys. They still love to date and are passionate about encouraging others in their relationships.
