What is the Love & Respect Marriage Conference?

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. We asked 7,000 people 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." 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!

We conduct conferences and provide resources to the married, divorced, separated, dating and single. Men and women will learn how to resolve conflict, dealing with the negative reactions (the crazy cycle). They will also learn how to motivate each other by meeting each other's need (the energizing cycle). Even those who feel hopeless in their relationships will gain understanding on how to handle an indifferent or unresponsive partner (the rewarded cycle).

The Love & Respect Marriage Conference will be hosted on Oak Grove's campus for all married couples. This will be a time of fellowship, devotional, spiritual growth, and an opportunity for couples to come together and grow in their faith and relationships with each other. 

The cost is $15/person ($30/couple). Dinner on Friday night and lunch on Saturday afternoon will be provided, and childcare is available as needed. We can't wait to see you there!
