- Making a Marriage Last. I am so grateful for John and Susan Yates: they and their church launched Restoration 9 years ago. They have been married for 46 years, and they have coached thousands (really) of couples with tips and advice on how to strengthen their marriage. This seminar will take the place of our 5pm service on 2/18. We will have nursery and a kid movie for children 5th grade and below. I hope that folks who ARE married AND folks who KNOW married people will attend. Throughout the year, we want to provide extra teaching on topics that are important to our congregation. I hope you will make this evening a priority. -David
