Fusion \ˈfyü-zhən\

The merging of different elements into a union
A union resulting from fusing:
Physics:A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy.

Marriage is this dynamic! God has created two unique individuals with different personalities, gifts, talents, faults, weaknesses, family backgrounds, stories, wounds, and preferences. Marriage binds these two together into a crucible that has the potential for Fusion.The two come together and form something new as they experience intimacy, which allows them to be released agents of love and grace to this world.

Consider when was the last time you made an investment in your marriage?Or set aside the hurriedness of life long enough to enjoy the one you love?

Small Group Exercises: You will participate in experiential exercises used as a tool to deepen understanding of the topics that are introduced.
