NO MARRIAGE IS PERFECT HOWEVER, EVERY MARRIAGE CAN BE GOD PLEASING. WE HAVE A COUNSELING COURSE WHICH INVESTIGATES OUR TRUE ATTITUDES ABOUT WHAT WE BELIEVE MARRIAGE IS VERSES WHAT OUR CREATOR DESIGNED MARRIAGE TO BE. THIS COURSE TAKES COUPLES THROUGH SCRIPTURE AND CHALLENGES US TO VIEW MARRIAGE FROM THE "LOVE GAZE" OF THE COURTSHIP TO THE "LOVE DAZE" OF THE MATURATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP THROUGH LIFE'S CHALLENGES. (THIS COURSE IS OPEN ONLY TO MEMBERS OF CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH) PLEASE CALL 936-1054 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
