“This has been THE BEST, most hands-on, practical, raw, and healing teaching that we have had in all our years of attending cruises, marriage conferences, classes, etc. Ron & Nan Deal were amazing, real, and transparent along with providing the practical steps for us to walk out this teaching in our life. We are in awe of the way they have allowed God to turn their mess into an incredible message and cannot wait to have it in a form to use to help others.”
– FamilyLife sponsored event participant
"Ron & Nan Deal’s seminar allowed my husband and I to get to heart level pain/fear and gave us practical tracks to run on to humble ourselves and extend grace to each other. I related with their story SO MUCH. Their seminar was the BEST thing FamilyLife has ever offered. Completely scripturally supported and 100% getting to the bottom heart-level transformational place where the Holy Spirit can make us new and really move."
-- Marriage Cruise Attendees
In February 2022 Ron & Nan Deal's Empowered to Love Marriage Conference™ was the talk of the FamilyLife marriage cruise. In 2023, an entire SanDestin Resort getaway was organized by FamilyLife around this seminar. And now, you can bring the Empowered to Love marriage conference to your church and community.
A BIBLICALLY-BASED, LAUGH AND LEARN MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT EVENT FOR COUPLES
At the intersection of Biblical principles for marriage, social science, and edutainment (“education designed to entertain and amuse”) is this dynamic and practical marriage seminar. The Empowered to Love Marriage Conference™ is designed to inspire, educate, and encourage couples in all seasons of life (pre-marriage, marriage, and blended family marriage) toward greater intimacy and stability.
This cutting-edge training event teaches couples:
- how to operationalize the Biblical quality of humility in their everyday lives
- to map their current painful relationship dance and replace it with one rooted in love that fosters peace and emotional safety
- how to transform their marital interactions from fear-based to grace-based
Topics include:
- What empowers us to love the way we want to love?
- The pride/humility dynamic in marriage
- The relationship between pain and behavior in marriage (Pain Cycle)
- How the Humility Shift fosters emotional safety (Peace Cycle)
- Fostering healthy sexuality in marriage
"This material from our friends Sharon & Terry Hargrave has made a significant difference in our own marriage and I've seen it change lives in the marital intensive therapy I do with couples.
If you want more for your marriage, I encourage you to be part of this practical and life-changing seminar." -- Ron Deal
