A TUNE-UP FOR YOUR MARRIAGE?
Have you ever purchased a car? What would happen if you stopped putting gas in your car? What about not changing the oil and filter? What would happen to your paint and interior if you didn’t swing by the car wash every now and then for a wash and vacuum? We understand that if we want to keep our automobiles at their best, maintenance is required!
The same is true of our marriages! Hopefully, you have an awesome marriage. But even the best marriages need maintenance to keep them finely tuned. Yet the reality for many of us is that our marriages are less than perfect. Things are going pretty well, but we realize some maintenance is due. We wouldn’t drive our cars for several years without changing the oil. So why do we “drive” our marriages for so long without any maintenance?
Becoming Passionate Teammates can be the tune-up that will take your marriage to the next level. BPT is a
dynamic weekend Marriage Skills Course that is different from any other marriage seminar or weekend you have attended. We don’t just talk about what makes for a great marriage, we train you with the tools and actual skills needed to take your marriage to new heights.

What about childcare?
Don't let finding childcare be a barrier to your participation in Becoming Passionate Teammates! Unfortunately, childcare is not available on-site during the workshop. But this "tune-up" for your marriage is too important to let childcare be a barrier to your attendance. Here are a few suggestions for childcare that can make it possible for you and your spouse to not miss the workshop:
• Call in the Grandparents to take your kids for the weekend or for the duration of the conference.
• Trade babysitting services with a coworker, friend, or neighbor.
• Ask for available families in your church to support your child care needs.
• Ask friends for their baby sitter's number and do some networking.
• Choose another couple attending the conference and go in on a sitter together.
If none of these options work for you, please contact us @ The Bridge Community Church (919.460.5917) and we will do our best to help you find a suitable solution!
