Wesleyan Married Couples Retreat

We had such an exhausting yet wonderful weekend at WMCR! We had our first session on Friday and then Tony and I played in a Euchre tournament. We played until about 1 a.m. and lost in the final round. We got up Saturday,had breakfast and then one first session. The speakers were really wonderful. They discussed how we need to not turn our desires in marriage into expectations. They also discussed the need for Christians to take back the marriage bed back from Satan. It has been portrayed in such an inappropriate way in the media. It was all just very facinating. We played Wildcat games before lunch and our team (the cowboy hats) won so we all got IWU t-shirts. Then several of us that went from our church played in a volleyball tournment where we lost to the same team that beat us last year! I ended up with a goose egg on my knee! It was fun though. That evening we had a hoedown. They had a cowboy band play during dinner and then there was a caller for square dancing! We all decided to give it a try and ended up having so much fun! We giggled and danced around for at least an hour and a half! Who knew square dancing could be such entertainment! It sure brought back some memories from middle school. To end the evening we took a horse pulled hay ride. It was so beautiful riding under a peaceful starlit evening. It was really nice to spend time with one another and focusing on us as a couple. Spending time with our friends all weekend and relaxing was also really wonderful. Good is God!
