Journey Toward Intimacy will take couples on a journey to discover or rediscover God’s plan for oneness in marriage–the intimacy they desired and hoped for when they first married.  Couples must fight against the natural drift toward growing apart which leads to alienation and loneliness in marriage.  Husbands and wives can become intimate friends, lovers, and allies for a lifetime.  Come and join us on the Journey Toward Intimacy.
