Dover (Del.) First church recently held a two-day retreat titled, “Try This at Home: Marriage,” aimed at strengthening marriages within the community. The event featured David Asscherick, speaker/director for Light Bearers, and Jennifer Jill Schwirzer, a licensed professional counselor. They led seminars, group discussions and activities designed to enhance marital relationships based on biblical principles.

Fifteen couples participated in the retreat, which provided an intimate setting conducive to connection, discussion and learning.

“I hope the couples learned the importance of investing in their marriage relationship,” says Javier Scharon, Dover First pastor.
