Summary
You were made for intimate connection; with God, with your spouse, with your family and friends. Yet, in the culture of busyness, you may find yourself pulled in so many directions, the noise of life and doing all the things begins to drown out the ability to cultivate true connection.
Margin is required for deep intimacy. We’re going to talk about how to create margin on purpose and start taking ground in creating deep connection and intimacy. Whether you are newly wed, in the thick of raising kids or in the empty nest stage, creating margin is season to season. It’s never easy and it doesn’t happen naturally, but you CAN find rhythms of margin in your season of life.
