Thank you for being with us again this year. The sessions were very carefully orchestrated and relevant for couples and also for parents. The entire weekend was of great value; positive, instructive and practical in strengthening my own marriage and family. Bob and Ellen represent two examples of thoughtful, intentional and godly parents. Their marriage mirrors the deepest commitment and love a couple can share.
