Marriage Enrichment WeeRend 2014

Nurturing Strong Partnerships in Healthcare Marriages Presented by Christian Medical & Dental Associations

A weekend to refocus, reR.Lndle and recommLt

The effects oftoday's healthcare professions have taken its toll on marriages. Increasing time pressures, fiscal burdens, continuing education requirements and countless demands have made building strong marriage relationships all the more difficult.

CMDA recognizes a need to provide healthcare couples with an opportunity to nurture and grow in their marital relationship. The Marriage Enrichment Weekends offer a comfortable, get-away-from-it-all setting, allowing couples to communicate and experience a deeper appreciation for their marriage partnership.

The Marriage Enrichment Conference will help you to:

• Have a healthier marriage • Achieve balanced priorities

• Improve communication • Rekindle romance

• Develop spiritual intimacy

The weekend conference offers a three-fold format consisting of brief information sessions,

private time for couples to work on assignments to assess their own marital relationship, and small group sharing sessions

consisting of four to five couples which address

the unique needs and stresses of

healthcare marriages.

Program Staff Each conference will have its own unique staff consisting of members of the CMDA Marriage Enrichment Commission.

Commuters Our preference is that you reserve the time and resources to stay in the conference hotel for maximum benefit. Commuters tend to benefit less if responsibilities of children, home and work are not set aside during the weekend. Your marriage will reap greater dividends if the full time of the conference is devoted to marriage enrichment.

Children Although CMDA feels that children are very special, we request that you do not bring them to the conference. To get the most out of the weekend, it is best if these responsibilities are set aside for the weekend so you can focus on your marital relationship.

Accommodations Please make your own hotel reservations by calling the phone number listed, unless otherwise noted. Identify yourself with the CMDA Marriage Enrichment Conference. The selected hotels provide a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere which will enable you to rekindle your partnership and enjoy your time away from the responsibilities of home, work and children.
