This past weekend was beautiful beyond words. Alex’s Army hosted our first ever Couples Retreat and we truly feel like it couldn’t have been any more perfect.

The couples, the conversations, the weather…all of it…every single part was absolutely perfect in every way.

Life leaves us broken at times and we don’t always understand the “why” when painful things happen. We can be left feeling alone…alone as individuals and alone in our marriages. But then there are people that God brings into our paths, not by coincidence. People to lift us up, to walk alongside us, to hold our hands, to listen, and to love us in our brokenness.

This weekend a common thread was finding the beauty amongst the pain, the light shining through the darkness. It was about marriage, family, healing, and new friendships – it was about faith, hope, and love.

“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.”

1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT
