Marriage Offerings from the Allender Center
Do you long to grow intimacy and understanding in your relationship but don’t know where to start? Are you spending more time together but finding you have less connection with each other? The Allender Center invites you to deepen intimacy and enrich your relationship – whether you’re in a committed relationship, dating, or have been married for several years.
Marriage Conference
The Marriage Conference invites you to candidly engage the inherent joys and struggles of marriage and relationships through the categories of communication, conflict, dreams and demands, family ties, forgiveness, and sex.
Join Dr. Dan B. Allender and Becky Allender, co-founders of the Allender Center, and Dr. Steve Call and Lisa Call, co-founders of The Reconnect Institute, to explore God’s design for marriage through the matrix of Genesis 2:24 (leaving, weaving, and cleaving). You’ll be invited into a place of newfound awareness and ability to engage conflict and desire, both as an individual and as a couple.
The Marriage Conference from the Allender Center is more than just a conference. It is an experience where you can move the conversation beyond techniques and “how-to’s” to begin to create a stronger relationship marked by kindness, care, and courage.
