He’s in his custom-fitted tux. The weather is pristine. The flowers are exquisite. The guests watch in awe. \nIt’s the PERFECT WEDDING of the PERFECT COUPLE!   \nThey are the perfect couple. Is that even possible? \nRegardless of what you believe about perfection\, it’s something nearly all of us desire\, especially in marriage! Almost all newly-married couples begin their lives together with gleaming and hopeful thoughts of perfection. They want more than just a good marriage. They want a PERFECT marriage! \nBut\, when perfection fades\, and it always does\, the two hopeful souls who\, years later\, still proudly display their honeymoon photo above their mantle have made a decision. A decision to keep their marriage spark strong and vibrant. No\, not perfect. But\, better than the status quo. Better than average. Yet\, better than average takes work.  \nBeing ABOVE AVERAGE takes REAL work.   \nAnd it’s that REAL work that allows average marriages to become GOOD marriages and good marriages to become GREAT marriages!  \nThat’s where Re-Engage comes in! \nWhat is Re-Engage? \nRe|Engage is a 12-week marriage enrichment course that brings couples together to learn about God’s design for marriage and apply biblical principles for building a healthy relationship.  \nThe next semester of Re|Engage begins Sunday\, February 4\, at 9:15am in HFC703.   \nHow does Re|Engage work? \nEvery week begins in a large group setting\, where you will hear stories of hope from other couples whose marriages have been transformed. Re|Engage leaders will then share practical steps you can take to move your marriage to the next level.  \nSmall Group \nAfter meeting as a large group\, participants will break off into smaller groups\, with each group led by a facilitator couple. You and your small group will work through the 12-lesson curriculum and learn how to effectively communicate\, resolve conflict\, and grow closer to your spouse.  \nOur Re|Engage Leaders \nOur Re|Engage facilitators are passionate about getting to know you\, hearing your story\, and leading you to a healthier marriage. They will be honest about their struggles while helping you see the challenges you may have in your marriage. \nExperience community \nAlong with your Re|Engage Small Group Facilitators\, you and your spouse will go through Re|Engage in a group with four to six other couples who\, just like you\, are seeking a better marriage. \nIn addition to meeting weekly\, small groups will bond by sharing life experiences and supporting one another. God has designed marriage to be a supportive\, loving\, life-giving relationship that mirrors His unconditional love for us. Re|Engage will help you better understand that design and learn how to apply it to your marriage.  \nWho should attend? \nRe|Engage is for one-man\, one-woman couples of all ages who are married (in other words\, this is not for seriously dating\, engaged\, or cohabitating couples). Previously married couples who are separated or divorced and are considering reconciliation are also encouraged to attend.  \nRe|Engage at First Baptist Dallas includes FREE opportunities for Play & Learn for children and is open to the community. You do not have to be a member or regular attendee of First Baptist Dallas to attend Re|Engage at First Baptist Dallas. \nAre you ready to Re|Engage? \nIf Re|Engage is for you\, please plan to join us beginning Sunday\, February 4. \nWe look forward to meeting you! \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://firstdallas.org/event/reengage/2024-02-04/ LOCATION:HFC703 CATEGORIES:Married Adults,Men,Women ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://firstdallas.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/YM_re_engage_h-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240218T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240218T123000 DTSTAMP:20260510T215459 CREATED:20240112T210621Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240208T173746Z UID:31982-1708259400-1708259400@firstdallas.org SUMMARY:Mission Trip Interest Meeting DESCRIPTION:We’re all called to go and make disciples of all nations\, so join First Dallas on a mission trip either locally\, nationally\, or globally.
