• Couples attended from Massachusetts and North Carolina.
• Daily Bible studies from the Old Testament book of Nehemiah were held for 30 minutes after breakfast. Willie entitled this series, "Building an Exceptional Life in an Ordinary World."
• Four marriage enrichment teaching sessions were held during the week. The topics were:
  • Different is Not Bad
  • Watch Your Behavior (2 sessions)
  • The Language of Love
• The week ended with a romantic oceanside Sunset Marriage Vows Renewal Ceremony.
• Couples had plenty of free time for snorkeling, sightseeing, swimming in the pool or ocean, shopping, and just relaxing on the quiet, beautiful grounds of Willowbank.
• Meals at Willowbank were superb. The chefs are outstanding and prepare meals that are as interesting as they are delicious.
   

Some of the comments from this year's participants:

Gave us time to reflect about our marriage and the importance for a Christian couple to 'work' at maintaining their marriage as a testimony to others and an act of worship to Christ.

If you want to have a wonderful time and give your marriage a real boost, I highly recommend this conference. The setting is soooooo romantic! Willie provides just enough good solid teaching to give you something to work on, but not so much to be threatening. Willowbank is a very special place, where you will experience God's presence as you spend a great week in his fabulous creation with "the one your heart loves."

This was our second time and now we are working at saving up money for a third time.
