"Let's stay together"
February 21-22, 2025
We can’t wait to see you at Friends & Lovers for Life Conference: "Let's Stay Together," a transformative weekend experience designed for married, engaged, and long-term dating couples. We will kick off with a romantic and fun-loving Friday date night, setting the stage for a full day of enriching sessions on Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Dive into thought-provoking topics such as redefining friends with benefits, The 3 it takes to stay successfully married, and exploring the purpose of marriage. This conference is going to challenge your ability to serve your spouse while embracing the commitment of your vows. You will discover resilience to stay in your marriage while doing the work it will take to make it thrive. We will tackle topics on valuable insights such as love & respect, and one of the most difficult things to accomplish in marriage – agreement. You will exit the conference having a clear understanding of the concepts of equality versus priority, and why dreaming together is vital for a healthy marriage. This conference is not just an event; it’s a journey to deepen your connection and reignite the passion in your relationship. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from Flynn and Carolyn Johnson, 50+ years veterans in marriage. They are passionate about your relationship growing closer, creating lasting memories and lasting a lifetime. Register now and be part of an inspiring and unforgettable weekend dedicated to celebrating and strengthening your bond!
