Marriage Retreat Reflections Part 3

The third session of the Marriage Retreat was on Romance in Marriage. A fitting reflection for Valentine's Day!

One of the most practical exhortations was to be a "student for life" of your spouse... make note of the things he likes to read, eat, listen to, talk about. What fascinates him? Be alert for opportunities to surprise, delight, and encourage.

Another help from the session was their list of "little foxes" (cf. Song of Solomon 2:15) that can ruin romance in a marriage.

They cited these "little foxes":

* Ignorance
* Ingratitude
* Spiritual neglect
* Selfishness
* Busyness
* Bitterness
* Fear of man

And here is the session from Covenant Life.
