• 7. Our problems aren't like everyone else's.
• 6. I'd like to come, but my spouse isn't really interested.
• 5. We're too busy being Mom and Dad - there's no time to work on our relationship.
• 4. We've been married too long and are too set in our ways.
• 3. Sunday evening is when we gear up for going back to school, work, etc.
• 2. We'd need to get a babysitter.

This is a ministry designed to nurture your relationship and your spirituality as a couple and to benefit from the wisdom of others.

If you recognize yourself or your significant other in any of these statements, you're not alone. Too many of us find reasons not to make our happy relationships a priority within our busy lives. If you make the time you won't regret it. Come find out how this fun group of couples - newlyweds, married forever, or somewhere in between - gains wisdom from the Bible, their own experiences, and from each other in an atmosphere that is supportive, non-judgmental, and strictly confidential. It just may be the best 90 minutes you spend with your sweetheart all week! Babysitting, snacks and laughter are provided.

For information, call Elizabeth and Robert Burkholder, 610-696-0440. The group meets every other Sunday night from 5 - 6:30 in the St. Andrew's Room. Meetings in March are on the 7th and 21st.
