Oct. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- Marriage Seminar at newhope church - Durham, NC, Nov 12-13

A marriage seminar for men and women who don't like marriage seminars, led by a nationally recognized speaker who says that a successful marriage is not just hooking up with the “right” person but “doing right,” is guaranteed to be a laugh a minute when Mark Gungor takes the stage.

The seminar called “Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage” will be hosted by Durham's newhope church on Fayetteville Road on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 12-13.

This is no video presentation. Gungor will be there live on stage with his candid and comedic approach, his unforgettable illustrations and the power of laughter to teach proven principles that are guaranteed to strengthen any marriage.

Gungor's take on marriage issues is free of both “churchy” and psychological lingo. He says that secular culture has over-romanticized marriage while Christian culture has over spiritualized it.

“The reality is that relationships between men and women are very down to earth,” he has said. “Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage is about helping couples get it right, get along, have fun and achieve a successful marriage.”

“Mark shows couples that their communication problems may result from how men and women think about life in a different way,” said Fran Helpingstine, the church's Executive Director of Operations and Finance and It Takes Two Marriage Ministry leader. “He also explains that many of the struggles couples face in marriage are the result of a head problem, not a heart problem.”

Gungor is senior pastor of Celebration Church, a multi-site church with five campuses across Wisconsin. He balances his pastoral duties with a rigorous travel schedule, speaking for churches, civic events and business meetings.

The seminar is planned for two days, Friday, Nov.12th, 7 to 10 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 13th, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participants don't have to attend both days, but the admission price includes both days and different topics are covered each day.

Admission for those who pre-register is $40 per person or $79 per couple. At the door, registration will be $89 per couple. Since this is expected to be a sold out event, interested persons should register online at www.laughyourway.com/events/2010/11/Durham-NC or call 866-525-2844. Childcare can be arranged by registering at http://www.newhopenc.org/Adults/Family-Ministries/Marriag... or by calling the church at 206-4673.

The seminar is part of Newhope's “Marriage Month” emphasis during November on Christian marriage. The Sunday sermon series during the month by Pastor Benji Kelley is titled “Fit to Be Tied: Making Marriage Last a Lifetime” intended to equip people with tools to build a God-based foundation in their marriage.  This sermon series will be running Sunday mornings at newhope’s Durham campus at 8:30, 10:10 and 11:45, at the Garner campus at 9:00 and 10:45, and on Sunday and Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm on the newhope i-Campus at http://www.newhopenclive.org/.
