Congratulations! You made it to the tenth and final Engaged Encounter podcast. We hope you enjoyed writing and exchanging your Engagement Promises with each other after the last episode. This last podcast is about healing in marriage, and we will focus on showing how our awareness of ourselves and our sensitivity to each other has grown during this podcast series and your times of sharing together. Your relationship can bring healing into your daily lives, just as Jesus brought God’s love and healing into our world. May this last podcast bind you together in perfect harmony and let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.

Thank you for listening to the first eight podcasts in this Engaged Encounter series. The eighth podcast was about intimacy and how important it is to our marriage relationship. This ninth episode will look at the important preparation needed for entering the covenant of marriage. You will write your engagement promise to each other as part of this episode’s activities. Please download the worksheet for this episode at encounter.org/engaged-encounter.

Hope is an important part of coping with change, and we covered that topic in the seventh podcast. The eighth podcast talks about how intimacy is vital to your marriage relationship. Intimacy is more than sex, can be experienced in every aspect of our relationship. Our sexual relationship is only a part of our total marriage relationship. You will be using worksheet 8.3 as part of this episode. If you haven’t already downloaded it, please do so at encounter.org/engaged-encounter.
