Yesterday, I helped out at the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative booth at the Tulsa Wedding Show. There were so many brides! Amanda Carter, Lauren Mattox, and I passed out fliers, the new marriage magazine, and information about upcoming Forever. For Real. workshops. Our goal is to get marriage-strengthening information into as many hands and hearts as possible. We spoke with so many brides and signed up A LOT of couples for the Febuary 6 event. We also had some fabulous cake from our favorite bakery, Ludger's. :) Their cheesecake wedding cake is divine and worth every delicious calorie. :) I also ran into Heather Rouba, Mrs. Oklahoma America 2009, at the show. She was attending with several of her beautiful models from the Anthony David Agency. Her models modeled bridal gowns in the show. It's so wonderful to be able to spend the day with people I enjoy, who share my values, doing something worthwhile together. These new relationships are such a blessing.On February 6, during the month of Love, the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative will host its largest Forever. For Real. event of the year! From 9 AM to 3 PM, at four locations throughout the state, dating, engaged, and married couples will learn the keys to helping love last. Topics include communication, problem solving, love styles (which very similar to The Five Love Languages), commitment, forgiveness, and much more. The entire workshop is FREE. The marriage initiative is also providing lunch and door prizes, including two tickets on Southwest airlines to fly anywhere in the continental US. You spend so many hours planning your wedding day. Why not invest six hours in the rest of your lives together? If the February 6 date does not work for you, visit the website to search for an upcoming workshop that fits your schedule.
I tell people all the time how these skills have helped me to be a better wife to my husband. It's also great to take a refresher even if you've attended one of our workshops before, because your relationship changes over time. This one-day workshop-style event is also a great supplement to premarital counseling taught by clergy because it is skills-based, rather than focusing on expectations for household chores, children, and other parts of your life together. While our workshop touches on these areas, our primary focus is on giving you real skills that you can use today, no matter what the topic is. Engaged couples save $45 on their marriage licenses by attending this, or one of our other, Forever. for Real. events. When it comes to the most important people in our lives, there is always more to learn.
I hope to see you at the February event, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Downtown Tulsa! Register online and be sure to mention that Sasha Townsend, Mrs. Tulsa, sent you!
