Mark your calendars for the 2012 Faith Promise Church Marriage & Parenting Summit. The Marriage & Parenting Summit will be held at both the Pellissippi and Blount Campuses of Faith Promise on February 3 & 4. Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in your marriage and/or parenting. If you have a suggestion for a topic please email Jennifer Rose at [email protected]. Specific registration information will be available in late December or early January. Last year’s event was a huge success with spots filling up quickly. You don’t want to miss out on this year’s event.

This past weekend we completed a series at Faith Promise called “Losing The Leaf.” In this series we focused on intimacy – in the context of all of our relationships; God, spouse and others. How is the intimacy in your family relationships? It is so easy to “construct walls” in our most significant relationships. The impact over time is damaging to our marriages and relationships with our children. If your family’s relationship is not where you want it to be I encourage you to find ways to make it stronger. Some ideas include: weekly dinner together, family day once a month, leaving a note of encouragement or praise in the morning, watching a movie or playing a game together, focused attention and listening during conversations, etc.  Don’t give up when it comes to family. Lose the leaf with your family and watch your intimacy thrive.
