Has anyone else noted all the topics concerning marriage lately. Our GYAT class, home groups, and the guest speaker a couple weeks ago have all dealt with marriage. I am starting to wonder if the elders don't know something about my marriage that I don't. All jokes aside it seems to be a hot topic. I have kept up with all the material and our home group is going through the material as intended. Jodi and I have had discussions about all the emphasis, which leads me to my point.
Even though at times I seem to be overloaded with some things that seem simplistic, it has generated a lot of conversation between Jodi and I dealing with our marriage. Again some of it seems trivial but it has been insightful what we have learned about each other. Also I think the discussions in the GYAT class have been good. Marriage is a very personal topic and when comfortable sparks good discussions. So even though it feels that we are being bombarded I definitely have seen positive outcome on my part.
Last point, if you guys haven't been attending the GYAT class I strongly encourage you to come. We usually have good discussions and if you don't want to participate, you do not have to. December will be the last of this book. So if you start in January you will be totally caught up. Sorry so long, Jason will make fun of me.

I won't make fun, I've been getting a little long-winded myself. To add to your post, the emphasis on marriage has only fueled my wife's fire of getting me to do more around the house.
I've enjoyed talking about marriage in our home group because Tim and I are able to use our life together as an example to those who are not married. It has allowed several members of our church family to look into our lives in a more intimate manner in which we don't usually get to share. I personally feel as though several of our home group members have bonded more deeply through this "class" than we thought we would.
Time for the grumpy old man to make a comment...
I won't deny that some marriage enrichment does a couple good, but I'm afraid it's been overkill around here lately. A little goes a long way. There's just so much touchy-feely stuff I can take before my blood sugar starts to climb. I'm happy with the status quo of my marriage and, from what Patsy has indicatd, she is also. Most of the things they recommend in these lessons we've BTDT and personally I'd like to see some other topics for a change.
Our homegroup has wonderful fellowship and we are getting to know different people better than we normally would not in the worship setting. However, I think this would happen if we gathered to talk about the size of golf balls in the PGA tournament. We need more than fellowship to come out of our homegroups.
Has there been a change to the size of golf balls?
Golf balls will remain the same size... It's a wonder you could understand my comment considering all the gramatical errors. Oh well, English was never my strong point.
Me think Scott's Gramer good. And golf balls should be larger, tennis ball size.
I saw an article somewhere? that showed winter golfing with bright red golf balls, ice covered "greens" and lots of snow. Looked like fun! Guess I'd have to get some new golfing shoes.
