GOD’S HOPE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE…
Why a marriage conference?
Are there areas of your marriage that you’d love to see improve? Maybe things are going ok, but they could get much better? Or, perhaps things are a little upside down in your relationship and you need to spend some time refocusing on what your marriage is all about? It’s time to move from survive to thrive in your marriage! Join us for this one day conference and give your marriage the focus it deserves.
You will experience teaching, interactions, laughter, and inspiration throughout the day that will encourage and enrich your marriage. This is for couples from newlyweds to those who have been together many years.
The conference is led by Steve & Kristina Broughton (Founders of Restoring Hope) and facilitated by Ken & Lori Rudisell. Visit the conference site at: www.restoringhopeministries.com and for more information about Restoring Hope please visit: www.restoringhopeministries.com .

Ken & Lori Rudisell
Ken and Lori have been married since 2009 and reside in Wooster, Ohio. After attending a conference from Restoring Hope Ministries, they have felt called to minister to the other couples in their community. They are the parents of two college-age students and a fourth grader. They enjoy the outdoors, traveling, sports and taking road trips together. Ken works as manager of Product Documentation for a software company and Lori works part-time for Ohio Hospice. From their own struggles, Ken and Lori learned the importance of having an intentional marriage that is surrounded by God and a strong community. They have become proactive in strengthening their own relationship as well as those marriages around them. They are excited to see the Lord do His redemptive work in so many hearts and lives, restore marriages, create vision, and truly make all things new.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
MARRIAGE:
“Why isn’t it all about me?” Go back to the biblical foundation of what marriage is all about. You can build a strong marriage if the foundation is solid.
CONFLICT:
“What were you thinking?” Conflict is inevitable in relationships. We can’t learn how to avoid it, but we can learn how to work through it.
FORGIVENESS:
“When will you let it go?” This is the most powerful tool in the marriage toolbox. To get past hurts, forgiveness is the key!
COMMUNICATION:
“Are you listening to me?” Do you love to be heard? Well, what about listening? Communication in marriage is a 2-way venture.
PRIORITIES:
“Who’s on first?” When the least important things take up the most amount of time, your marriage takes a hit. Let’s learn how to put first things first.
PERSPECTIVES:
"What do you mean you don't see it my way?" Sometimes couples just don't understand why their spouse views things a certain way. Now is the time to begin to understand.
INTIMACY:
“You have a headache?” Truth is intimacy is about way more than sex. We will spend some time learning about how God designed intimacy to begin outside of the bedroom and how what happens outside of the bedroom can affect what happens inside the bedroom.
AND MUCH MORE:
You will hear true life practical experiences that will apply to your marriage and relationships.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Our conference is setup in a way for you to immediately apply what you have just learned. Following each teaching you will be provided a time for a breakout. We will ask you two to find a quiet place and take some time and practice what you just learned. You may take a walk, find a tree to sit under, or bring some outside chairs and claim a spot (weather permitting of course). Please come ready to not just attend but apply.
WHAT TO BRING?
Bring yourselves ready for life change and application. Bring your Bibles, favorite pen and a notebook. Bring some outside chairs (weather permitting, which is highly likely to be cold). Bring some cash for lunch or a sack lunch. If you like Disc Golf bring some discs as there is a course on-site.
