“RETREAT DON’T RETREAT: CELEBRATE MARRIAGE RETREATS” with guests Sherman and Tammy Aten

In this Episode of DEFENDING THE FAITH, Frank and Becky Harber interview Sherman and Tammy Aten about RETREAT DON’T RETREAT: CELEBRATE MARRIAGE RETREATS.

 

The marriage rate in the United States has witnessed a decline since the beginning of the 21st century, dropping from over eight marriages per 1,000 individuals to six marriages per 1,000 individuals in 2019. This current rate marks the lowest level recorded since the U.S. government started maintaining marriage records for the nation in 1867.

 

While it may not have ended, marriage in America has unquestionably declined over the recent past and is now at historic low numbers for the United States.

 

The Importance of maintaining a strong and healthy marriage cannot be overstated! 

 

Sherman and Tammy Aten have dedicated their lives to building up marriages in the Body of Christ. Listen carefully as they teach on this important subject.

 

The Atens have been serving in full-time itinerant ministry since November of 1990. Many know them as worship leaders, evangelists or Three2One Marriage Conference hosts. They travelled 20 years as a family with their son & daughter ministering in worship through revivals & concerts. Today they spend an average of 30 weeks per year ministering as a couple in the U.S & internationally in churches based in Canada, Mexico, Bolivia, Wales, Romania, Russia, Venezuela, South Africa, Philippines, Ukraine, Portugal, Spain, Pakistan & Turkey.

 

God has developed in the Atens a hunger for authentic worship in the Body of Christ & a passion for Godly marriages & family through their marriage ministry, Three2One.  Sherman served as Music Director for the Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelists from 1998-2000 and then again in 2004. The Aten family are members & staff evangelists of the Acton Baptist Church, in Granbury, Texas where they make their home and ministry base.
