“As marriages grow and age, what defining moments do they experience?” writes Dave Harvey in his book I Still Do. “What are the unique points of trouble and transformation that visit us as our marriages mature—as we navigate the realities of job and financial challenges, keep our heads above water in the kiddie years, raise teenagers or adult children, empty the nest, suffer, age, or prepare for final good-byes? What moments define a durable marriage?”

Whether you are single, engaged, or married, we invite you to learn about durability in marriage on October 12, when author Dave Harvey joins us for a half-day Marriage Matters workshop.

Harvey is returning to Parkside to explore the topics he’s covered in his most recent marriage book, I Still Do: Growing Closer and Stronger through Life’s Defining Moments. Discover the defining moments of marriage and how we can traverse those conflicts with grace and the love of Christ.

Over the course of three sessions, Harvey will talk about starting together, sticking together, and ending together:

1. My Brokenness Is Broader than Sin (9:00am-9:45am) | Understand that brokenness stems from other forces beyond sin (our bodies, upbringing, spiritual forces, etc.), and learn to relate to one another with grace.
2. Sex (10:00am-10:45am) | Learn God’s good plan for sex in the context of marriage.
3. Marriage and the Captivity of Closure (11:00am-12:00pm) | Explore what to do when our desire for resolution becomes a demand.

This conference is a great opportunity to equip couples at all stages with the core principles that define a biblical marriage. And don’t count this workshop out if you’re single! Marriage is a picture of Christ’s love for the church, so everyone can draw nearer to God by learning about this unique relationship he designed.
