Love & Respect

What is Love & Respect? We believe love best motivates a woman and respect most powerfully motivates a man. Research reveals that during marital conflict, a husband most often reacts when feeling disrespected and a wife reacts when feeling unloved. , 1000 people were asked this question: When you are in a conflict with your spouse or significant other, do you feel unloved or disrespected? 83% of the men said “disrespected” and 72% of the women said “unloved.” Though we all need love and respect equally, the felt need differs during conflict, and this difference is as different as pink is from blue! You can purcharse the booke "Love and Respect" through AMAZON.COM or other vendors and begin to learn about this important concept.

 

Premarital Counseling

Marriage Counseling

Every relationship needs a tune-up periodically to help us stay focused on future direction and a biblical paradigm. Every marriage takes work and attention to relational needs that we take for granted. Therefore, we offer marital direction and encouragement through counseling by appointment. Contact the church office at (208) 237-5002 or send an EMAIL to set up an appointment or get more information.

 

Adult Mentoring

Our society is highly mobile, giving younger adults less opportunity to learn positive relationship models from their parents and grandparents. Marriage mentoring allows mature, experienced couples to encourage and guide younger marriages.

 

Adult couples are training to mentor others in the art of marriage. There are openings for couples to be mentored by those who are seasoned in a healthy marriage.
