Celebrate Your Marriage 2019
At our Celebrate Your Marriage Conference, not only will you experience high-quality programming through engaging speakers and entertainers, you’ll enjoy plenty of one-on-one time with your spouse at one of the most romantic hotels in America! The bonus is that you’ll return home knowing how to celebrate and strengthen your marriage.
God intended marriage to be a beautiful relationship between a man and a woman that is designed to last for a lifetime. Healthy marriages are solid foundations for families, loyal partnerships, and mirror the kind of covenant God has for His people.
For over 20 years we have helped thousands of couples Celebrate their Marriage through laughter and growth together with challenging, funny, and relevant speakers … all while savoring time with each other at historic Grand Hotel.
Our Promise to You: • You and your spouse will experience intentional time away to enjoy each other and fall in love all over again. • You and your spouse will celebrate the relationship you have and come away with ways to grow as a couple. • You and your spouse will live out the kind of marriage God intended. • Your expectations will be exceeded with a heartfelt and unforgettable experience, leaving you eagerly anticipating your return to another Celebrate Your Marriage Conference.
Get ready to Celebrate! 1. Buy your tickets to the Celebrate Your Marriage conference. 2. Reserve your room at Grand Hotel where you’ll take a step away from it all and unwind in the warm hospitality that has been charming guests since 1887. 3. Buy your ferry tickets to this one-of-a-kind location. 4. Get ready to CELEBRATE!
Couples leave Celebrate Your Marriage energized, engaged, and healthy spiritually, resulting in healthy marriages that are an inspiration to others.
Couples who’ve attended say it best! My wife and I shared the Celebrate your Marriage and loved it. It was very well put together and it was some wonderful bonding time with my wife and I. The food was fabulous too. This is something we will plan on attending every May and have booked already for next year. After getting home we shared with our family all about how much fun we had and my sister and brother in law are coming with us next May. Can’t wait for the couple photo’s to be posted. We are going to glue our “marble” on our frame for remembrance of this weekend. Thank you for sharing this weekend with me and my best friend!! ~ Dave
We love coming to Celebrate your Marriage at the Grand, and we come back year after year : ) We always take home some good teachings, even if they are reminders of things we’ve learned before. Marriage takes effort, we always need to remember the others needs. Most importantly you remind us to keep God at the center. Thank You, you guys are awesome! ~ Barb
