Valentine Dinner and More! Sunday, February 13, 2011 Linwood's Restaurant, Owings Mills, Maryland

The Marriage Enrichment Ministry is a means to fellowship with married couples who are committed to building, strengthening and maintaining Christian marriages and to provide support and encouragement to married couples. 

 

Just like our cars need “tune-ups” to keep running well, our bodies need “check-ups” to stay healthy and keep us in working condition, our marriages need tune-ups, check-up, and maintenance to work well and stay healthy!  It is important to work daily on the covenant that we made with God and with our mates.  

 

We are looking for all married (and engaged) couples - whether "just married" or "silver and gold" who want to be a part of the Union Bethel AME Marriage Enrichment Ministry. We believe that each one can teach one!  Our meetings will consist of devotion, a marriage builder discussion/activity, food and fellowship. 

 

Our Precious Love

Our goal is to assist in making marriage everything God intends based on shared faith, trust, understanding, commitment, love and respect for our mate.

 

 

"Have good communication and good listening skills with God and with each other!  Continue dating to continue developing your romance. Just as God invested in us, the more we invest in our marriage, the more valuable it becomes.” Angela & Michael Spiller

 

“Before making any decision, pray and ask for God's guidance, it makes the difference."  Avis and Lennox Graham

 

"Marriage is and can be a great thing.. tisnot always easy but the benefits far out way the problems.  Spend time together, enjoy each other,  be considerate and always say “Thank You.”  Tawanda and Glenn Carter

 

"First love God above everyone and everything else. Then love your spouse as much as you love yourself.  Always try to give more love than you receive."  Lui & Amelia McFadden

 

"Treasure the time that you spend together...and laugh." Carla and Eric Chase

"Simply put, the little things mean a lot in a marriage... Regardless of how busy your life may be or how you may feel, try to remember to be attentive to your spouse and say "I love you" or share a kiss daily." 

 

"I asked my husband what makes a good marriage and he said that a good marriage happens when two people get along.  I replied well you could have married anybody; but I was not listening to what his words of wisdom meant.  When God presented the woman to the man, the man said, "this is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh," which means they were like each other.  He recognized what was formulated from the inside of him and knew that because she originated from him they indeed would get along.  The man and the woman were mirror images--very much alike and yet very different -- one complementing the other.  Who better to marry than someone who allows you to be you and you allow him/her to be him/her. With that tremendous amount of exposure -- that is, both of you being who you are without reservation -- it is truly a blessing when you have a marriage characterized by the ability to get along.  Many thanks to my husband for getting along with me. "  The Rev. Linda E. & Brother Henry F. Mouzon, Jr.

 

"Marriage is about, trust, commitment and fidelity. Every relationship that lasts has forgiveness, somewhere in the fabric. Someone has to say 'I am sorry.' And someone has to say 'it is alright baby, I forgive you.'  We have to be committed to the person we are with, and that person has to be committed to us." 

 

'Marriage is most successful when both partners have a strong love of God. Love is the basis for a happy marriage, but to maintain an everlasting love requires patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, gratefulness, and respect for one another. The longer you are together in marriage, the stronger the love becomes.'' John and Lesly Ogungbemi
