Military Marriage Retreat: The Mystery of Happily Ever After
with Doug Carver
May 28-30, 2027
Marriage is a mystery that is worth all the challenges it brings. God’s intention is that “a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh” (Ephesians 5:31, ESV), helping each other fulfill their God-given purpose. Join us as we study several Biblical principles for a healthy, lasting marriage and learn practical ways to apply them. Come renew your relationship and rediscover “Happily Ever After.”
