Camp Nathaneal - 2008

My wife and I attended the annual Couples Retreat at Camp Nathaneal this past weekend for a much needed time of instruction and attention to the most neglected relationship in both our lives.....the husband/wife relationship. We've got the mom/dad relationship down just fine, but rarely find time for the other couple in our house.

We attended the Retreat last year, and we came away from it with a renewed interest in each others needs as well as a strong interest in seeking financial peace. Reflecting back on the past year, we did a better job with the finances then with the relationship. We started off strong with some solid date times for about two or three months.........and then life got in the way.

So, we have renewed our interests in each other. I wish that we could go to a retreat once a quarter. I highly recommend the retreat for anyone that is married regardless of whether you think your marriage is great or on life-support. It is held the last weekend of April every year. This was year 17!!!

Camp Nathanael

My wife, Debi, and I took part in a "Couples Retreat" at Camp Nathanael in Knott County, KY this weekend. It was an excellent experience for us, and will likely be an event that we will look back on years from now and say, "That really made a positive impact on our relationship." This event takes place annually, and is held the last weekend of April. If I remember correctly, this was the 16th such event held here. Our cousins Tim and Kim, who invited us to attend, have been to the retreat 13 different times, and plan on returning as many more as the Lord will allow.
The retreat was remarkable for many reasons: excellent speaker, thought provoking knee slapping skits, excellent subject matter, excellent food, calming environment, fun activities, excellent food, great accommodations, lots of laughter, great worship music, great staff, great fellow retreaters, and did I mention excellent food?
I highly recommend that all couples consider attending this event next year. Further, I recommend that you go to the Camp Nathanael website, and learn more about this amazing place that has been performing an amazing ministry for 75 years now. They have events going on year round for all age groups. I will be creating more posts in the future regarding events.
