Marriage Assessment
Day 1 - Sunday
We’re so glad you’ve made time in your schedule to invest in your marriage! Here’s the first resource in our series of 7 to help support healthy marriages in the same vein as getting a WOF/service.
Best of all, you can use this assessment as often as you like to see how you are growing and changing as you work on different areas of your marriage.
DateNights
Day 2 - Monday
Great relationships are developed by spending intentional time and energy focusing on making each other the priority. One of the easiest ways to cultivate this habit of making your spouse a priority is through regular date nights.
We’ve created a series of date night ideas to get you started with this awesome habit of having regular date nights with your spouse. Keep the love alive in your marriage!
FamilyLife New Zealand Podcast
Day 3 - Tuesday
The FamilyLife New Zealand podcast is a conversation to equip and encourage you to build strong, healthy and connected family relationships. Sign up to receive our podcast episodes delivered right to your inbox!
Check out this snippet from the FamilyLife NZ Podcast of one of our most listened episodes – Sex In Marriage – it is pure gold!
“Married couples who have sex regularly, live longer, they have better heart health, enjoy a deeper connection and can let go of annoyances easier.”
– Nancy Houston, author of Love and Sex
Weekend To Remember
Day 4 - Wednesday
Find out why more than 25,000 people have already attended a FamilyLife New Zealand marriage event. Marriage is a lifelong adventure of growing together through every age and stage of life. The happiest couples are those who commit to learning skills that help them weather difficult seasons and deal confidently with relationship challenges.
A FamilyLife Weekend to Remember Getaway is a marriage conference uniquely designed to help you and your partner escape the daily grind and focus on your relationship. For most couples, it’s a chance to reconnect, re-establish the foundation and rekindle romance. For others, it’s a fresh start. For some, it will be the weekend that saves a marriage.
