Help Couples Get Their “WITH” Back

Sometimes you can be with someone, but not really WITH them.
Do you know what we mean? It happens all the time in marriage.
In fact it’s a natural occurrence. Couples drift. Get distracted. Disconnect happens.

Daily life pushes, pulls at couples.
The demands of work, kids, household repairs, retirement, kids, finances, health . . . did we mention kids?
It’s the one tension in everyday life that every couple, regardless of age or economic status faces.
Couples in the suburbs, in the city, in rural areas all deal with it.

The majority of the couples in your church aren’t in a crisis situation, no, the majority of couples in your church are disconnected.
Their WITH is broken.
Do you want to help couples get their WITH back? We know you do and we are here to help!

The 2015/16 MarriedPeople Strategy Pack, WITH, is now available. In it, you will find 25 do-able touchpoints to help couples connect. Every resource is intended to build a memory, or spark a discussion or encourage couples.

The WITH Strategy Pack includes:

4 Larger Group Experiences.
We’ve made it super easy to host four one-night events that connect couples with one another and with your church. Each Larger Group Experience is extremely flexible and customizable and contains videos, promotional material, and programming suggestions. We even include communicator videos featuring speakers like Andy Stanley, Ted Cunningham and Ted Lowe. Or you can choose to communicate on your own by taking our scripts and customizing them for your audience. In the WITH Strategy Pack, we’ll look at four different aspects of with: Fun With (Have Serious Fun), Switch With (Love God First), Not With (Practice Your Promise) and Feel With (Respect & Love).

5 Weeks of Small Group Material
Each year you get five small group sessions that work great for new small groups, existing small groups, or Sunday school classes. These resources bring married couples together with others who are for their marriage. It includes a Leader’s Guide and videos featuring real couples. (Participant’s guides are sold separately.)

4 Date Nights and 12 monthly E-ZINEs to Help Individual Couples
One of the most powerful things you can do for married couples is to give them simple tools and resources they can use on their own. They need to laugh, talk, affirm and connect. We provide four Date Nights and 12 monthly E-ZINEs to make that happen.

And MarriedPeople partners, we’ve listened to your feedback and this year we’ve included some NEW things you’ll be excited about:

• a Social Media Plan and tiles for each of the 4 Larger Group Experiences
• themed art for each Larger Group Experience and Date Night

Also, our five-week small group study focuses on helping couples with their WITH, while weaving the core 4 Habits (Love God first; Practice Your Promise; Have Serious Fun; Respect and Love) throughout each session. In other words, a single small group session will not focus on just one habit, as in previous year’s small groups. Why? Because rarely does daily life give us the opportunity to focus on just one core habit, but rather most of us deal with a blend of these habits.
