Alan and I had the blessing to share dinner with this wise and humble servant of Christ last night. Countless books written, 20 million copies of The Five Love Languages sold in 49 languages. And rather than tell us all about everything he has done at dinner, he wanted to know about our marriage and boys, my graduate school experience and past mentors, and some distinctives of intensives. So grateful to end The Marriage Collective at WinShape Retreat this morning learning from his wisdom that the most important “Where Do We Go From Here?” priorities are to walk and abide with Jesus, to always keep learning; to make our spouse our first priority, and to remember we only have our children for 18 years - so teach them to pray and build joyful and meaningful memories!! Thank you Dr. Gary Chapman for your investment in The Marriage Collective this weekend and the kingdom always - you embody your charge to us to “enjoy our ministry” through seeking and finding how to serve others and being faithful to the end!
