The Marriage Code
Codes are all around us: access codes for banking accounts, to make reservations for travel, or to gain entry into buildings or our own computers. It is possible to have a marriage that is smooth and satisfying, but you have to know and use the access code that keeps the connection to your spouse alive and well. Couples will learn how to use The Marriage Code to move their marriage "above the line of success and security" where everything is good, life is enjoyable and romance sizzles. Couples will learn how God is the best “decoder” for learning to love and gaining insights into their mate’s heart and life, as well as strategic ways to apply “the marriage code” in key areas of love and life:
Mystery of love (delight in the differences that drew you together)
Affection (interaction that raises your confidence)
Recreation (fun that keeps your friendship growing)
Resolve conflict (capturing the passion of your disagreements)
Intimacy (raising the value of your romantic, sexual love)
Activate Alarms (what to do when things aren’t quite right)
Golden Goals (a financial plan that fits your life)

In this series of messages, Bill and Pam encourage those who serve others.
