Our differences in temperaments often draw us to each other prior to marriage and push us away from each other after marriage. Using the Myers-Briggs Type Instrument, we will discuss God's wiring of us as individuals. We'll learn more about the hearts, minds, and actions that can lead to us truly being “better together” and delighting in that.
Drs. Paul and Virginia Friesen were married in 1976 and are the parents of three young women, the eldest of which was married in February 2007. They have been involved in Family Ministries for over 30 years through family camps, church staff positions, speaking, consulting, and writing.
As the founders and directors of Home Improvement Ministries, the Friesens regularly speak at marriage, men’s, and women’s conferences in the US and internationally as well as local family and parenting seminars, and have an ongoing ministry with several professional athletic teams. Paul and Virginia both have Doctorates in Marriage and Family Therapy from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. The Friesens are (with four others) co-authors of the book Restoring the Fallen published by InterVarsity Press. Home Improvement Ministries has published their books Letters to My Daughters (Paul), So You Want to Marry My Daughter? (Paul), In Our Image: A daily guide to strengthen your marriage (Paul and Virginia), and most recently, Raising a Trailblazer: Rite-of-Passage Trail Markers for Your Set-Apart Teens (Virginia).
Paul and Virginia’s greatest joy in life is knowing that their children are walking in the Truth.
