married life live! is coming

Chances are, if you're a NewPointe attender, you've already heard mention of Married Live LIVE! It's something brand new coming your way April 28.

If you haven't heard anything about it yet, here's the scoop:

Four times a year we design a totally new event for you and your spouse to be with other couples for a night out. Think of it as a date night--NewPointe style. At MLL you'll experience incredible music, creative programming, and a message that's very relevant to your marriage. It's all specially designed to encourage and empower you as a couple.

Included in MLL is:

  • A fabulous dinner (including mouth-watering desserts)

  • Unbelievable live music

  • Hilarious shenanigans and comedy

  • An encouraging engaging message that will be very relevant to your marriage

  • And a whole lot more!

You just gotta trust me on this one...you don't want to miss it.

At each one of the MLL events, we'll theme the entire night around one of our six marriage essentials:

  • TRUST GOD:: If having a healthy marriage seems impossible, it's because it is. But we have a loving Heavenly Father who wants to make it possible. We believe the number one essential to having a healthy marriage is to allow God to control our lives. Our number one goal for your marriage is for you to TRUST GOD.

  • HURRY HOME:: If you want a healthy marriage then your time together has to be a priority. For marriages to thrive, schedules must reflect the huge priority of home. In other words, cheat at work if you must, but do not cheat your marriage. In fact, we think it's extremely important for you to HURRY HOME.

  • CULTIVATE COMMUNICATION:: Is there anything worse than feeling misunderstood? And maybe, there is just nothing better than feeling understood...being known. Good communication is paramount to a good marriage. We want you to have great communication with your spouse. So we think it's absolutely essential for you to CULTIVATE COMMUNICATION.

  • NURTURE ROMANCE:: The power of romance, sex, and intimacy can be a marriage's biggest ally...or it's biggest enemy. We all want our spouses to remember that we have certain needs. Married Life Live believes the goal should be to remember first that our spouses have certain needs. We think it's the best way to NURTURE ROMANCE.

  • CELEBRATE DIFFERENCES:: By God's design, men and women are very different. As couples we can use those differences to complement and serve each other or they can be used to drive us apart. A lot of times we try to change our spouses in the name of love. MLL thinks a better option is to love our spouses even if they never change. We think it's crucial for couples to seek to understand and accept each other's differences. So we think married couples should CELEBRATE DIFFERENCES.

  • FINISH TOGETHER:: More and more people are putting divorce on the table as an option. One essential thing every healthy marriage needs is security. People need to know that together as a couple, they can work out anything. MLL wants couples to FINISH TOGETHER.

So, does all this sound like something your marriage could benefit from? You bet! Here's the deal: tickets for Married Life LIVE! go on sale THIS SUNDAY in the bookstore at NewPointe (you can also buy tickets online beginning next week). The cost is $30 per couple.

At this very first MLL event we'll nail the TRUST GOD essential for you. The theme is "A Night at the Movies." Dress is casual but the event will be first-class.

It all starts on Saturday, April 28. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Dinner is served at 6. Oh my goodness...you DO NOT want to miss this. Hey, here's a great idea: bring your neighbors! Make it a double date. Invest and invite! MLL is an event you can be proud to bring people to.

Oh yeah, one more thing...seating is, in fact limited. We only have room for about 250 couples so buy your tickets early to make sure you have a spot.
