\u00a0We&#8217;ve addressed issues like conflict and abuse in marriage relationships, as well as how to express your love to your spouse and children in a way they can receive and understand it (The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman). \u00a0We feel blessed to have been trained in facilitating groups while serving at FUNDEFAM in Monterrey, and we enjoy leading fun activities like dramas and icebreakers, as well as deeper discussion times like talking about issues of anger and how we deal with it in a way that honors God. \u00a0We are by no means experts and we often share our own stories of how we struggle with knowing how to discipline our children in love, or learning how to communicate in a deeper way with each other. \u00a0But we also share how God is transforming us to more clearly reflect his Kingdom values. \u00a0That is our prayer for the couples within our churches as well. \u00a0Would you pray with us for our own family, as well as the families God puts in our path to minister with and encourage?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few pictures from the workshops&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-971 gallery-columns-3
