Marriage and family are God’s idea. He created them! And he doesn’t want us to merely survive and hold on for dear life in these relationships. God wants us to flourish as husbands and wives, as moms and dads. That’s what this conference is aimed at helping us learn to do. God provides clear guidance in his Word for cultivating a home that thrives. This doesn’t mean that there won’t be hard days and seasons, but it does mean that we can be like a tree planted by a life-giving stream. We can bear healthy fruit in our homes.
