Mops/Pops Date Night

Our annual Mops/Pops Date Night went very well this year. We had about 25 couples come. We had an Italian potluck dinner first, then listened to special guest speaker Mike Young of The Noble Warriors. The topic: 'The marriage big three: sex, communication and finance.'

Mike Young gave us some tools for a strong marriage:

1. Understand your differences. I Peter 3:7

2. Place your mates needs above your own. Philippians 2:3

3. Be patient. I Corinthians 13:4

4. Guard your heart and your eyes. Job 31:1

5. Strive for oneness. Genesis 2:24

6. Live peacefully. I Thes. 5:13

7. Move toward each other in trouble. Matthew 5:23

8. Avoid explosions. Proverbs 15:1

9. Find agreement. Amos 3:3

Two are better than one,

because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.

But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
