1) This Series has been a lot of FUN!   We had our largest attendance last Sunday! It really seems like people are excited to see their marriages go to another level.  Can’t wait to see what this Sunday will look like!  Oh by the way…mark your calendar April 4th is Thrive’s One year anniversary -good stuff!

2) Our “I Want a New Marriage” series has been incredible.  This past Sunday we talked about HIS NEEDS and HER NEEDS. Here’s the re-cap…

a) Key scripture:  I Cor. 7:3 (GN) “A man should fulfill his duty as a husband and a woman should fulfill her duty as a wife, and each should satisfy the other’s needs.”

b) Ladies – your husband’s need the following to feel connected to you….Admiration / Companionship /Nakedness (yes I mean Sex) / Peaceful Home

c) Men -our wives need the following from us (let’s make a commitment to not just read these – but bring them into our marriage) Conversation / Affection (not the same as sex…) / Protection / Thoughtfulness

3) If you really want to focus on your marriage after this series is done, you need to join a Growth Group that focuses on marriage.  We have two that you can sign up for right now….. (Mon 02) “It’s a LOVE FEST” or (Wed 01) Marriage 411. Click here to go our web site and read more.

4)  I am currently reading Gayle Haggard’s book “Why I Stayed” – It makes me more confident than ever in having Ted and Gayle Haggard to our church on Feb 14.  We need to fight hard to always remain a church that offers grace, hope, healing and forgiveness….
