Remembering the Dream for Your Marriage (3 Sessions)
We want to help you replenish your marriage with passion and purpose. The first four sessions will help you and your spouse remember the original dream for your marriage. We all dreamed of spending countless hours with our spouses immersed in conversation, laughter, and love. This first group of session videos will teach you and your spouse how to reignite your passion for one another.
Pastor Greg Laurie speaks on "Happily Even After" with a message titled "Four Words That Can Change Your Marriage" (Ephesians 5, 1 Corinthians 13)
If you are trusting in yourself or your spouse to be the source of your love, then you will ultimately be disappointed. God is the only one who loves you perfectly, permanently and powerfully.

Establishing a Strong Foundation (3 Sessions)
The second module will focus on establishing a strong foundation for your marriage. Since God is the one who created marriage, it makes sense to discover the purposes outlined in His book, the Bible, for your marriage to thrive. These session videos will help you and your spouse understand the purpose of your marriage.
Marriage Alignment is important. Are you aligned with God's design for marriage? This is an important question to consider.
Marriage, as God intended it, is a mutual thing. It goes both ways—God never asks more of one than the other, though He asks the maximum of everyone.
The “seven-year itch” refers to the time when one or both spouses grow tired of the marriage
and begin to long for something new. While studies have never proven seven as the precise
number, various studies have shown that divorce statistics do rise and peak somewhere between
five and ten years. I’m not sure, however, that we really needed sophisticated studies to tell us
what most marriages know by experience: marriage is harder than we expect. And if we’re looking for
reasons to leave, we’ll have plenty to choose from.

It is by far one of the biggest challenges faced by believers worldwide. It does not matter whether you are married or single, young or old, educated or uneducated, rich or poor. This struggle does not make any distinctions.
It is common to all believers. “What is this great challenge?” you might ask. This struggle, we all face is to start and develop a daily personal time with the Savior, to grow in our love for God, our knowledge of His Word, and to receive spiritual nourishment.
It is the struggle to set aside time every day to be alone with the Savior. Spiritual replenishment is not automatic and it is never easy. You have to work at it moment-by-moment.
Es uno de los mayores desafíos que enfrentan los creyentes en todo el mundo. No importa si usted es soltero o casado, joven o viejo, educado o ignorante, rico o pobre. Esta lucha no hace distinciones. Es común a todos los creyentes. Usted puede preguntar, “¿Cuál es este gran desafío?”
Es la lucha para iniciar y desarrollar un tiempo personal diario con el Salvador para crecer en su amor a Dios, su conocimiento de su Palabra y recibir alimento espiritual. Es la lucha de separar tiempo todos los días para estar a solas con el Salvador. El reabastecimiento espiritual no es automático. Usted tiene que trabajar para ello intencionalmente.
