Urban Life Success and Happiness Training Workshop  

Urban Life Training held its first Family Life Success Training at the new Peace Kingdom Center in historic Harpers Ferry, WV.  The 12 attendees participated in spirited discussion, enjoyed exquisite mountain top views and learned both practical and God's Word based lessons.

We also heard several testimonies, including how Patrick Kityo and Sarah Urban experienced God in their meeting and Blessing of Marriage. Another testimony was shared of thier own Blessing of Marriage journey by co-founders Richard and Stacey Urban.  Other activities included volley ball.

Discussions included "What are the qualities of a godly spouse".  That discussion included review o John Van Epp's RAM model from his book How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk.  One very important element not often talked about is the crucial role of sexual abstinence before marriage.  Another dicsussion was "Marital Commitment within God's Ideal of Marriage.  Scriptural readings on marriage from the words of Rev. Sun Myung Moon emphasized the important role of seuxal purity and making the commitment of marital fidelity.  Without making these commitments, we are blocked in developing the fullness of our relationship with God.
