Is your marriage everything God designed it to be — or does something feel like it’s missing? On Saturday, August 15th from 1:00-5:00 pm, join Licensed Professional Counselor Jordan Johnson for a seminar exploring what Scripture teaches about God’s design for marriage, why even good marriages get stuck, and what actually creates lasting connection between husband and wife.

We’ll cover how God designed marriage, including what biblical headship really means, how attachment patterns shape the way couples connect and disconnect, practical communication tools that go deeper than techniques, and how to navigate conflict in ways that strengthen rather than damage your relationship. Whether your marriage is struggling or you want to continue to grow and improve your bond, this seminar combines biblical truth with the science of relationship dynamics to create meaningful connection. Register today!
