On the occasion of the opening of “Marriage Week 2024” in Székesfehérvár, Attila Soltész, a marriage counselor and pastor, gave a lecture entitled “Differently edited together”, providing the listeners with a lot of practical advice, supporting the most important messages with biblical and scientific facts. As part of the trip, the participants were even given a homework assignment that might help them apply what they had heard in practice. Among the Fehérvár events, one of the closest ones will take place on Tuesday, February 13, at 6 p.m. in the Széchenyi Street prayer house of the Székesfehérvár Baptist Church, where Iván Imre, a social and family counselor, will give a lecture entitled “The Four Seasons of Marriage”.
– Imre originally studied to be a pastor, completed his theology, later continued his training at the American TCM International Institute, and then obtained a diploma in social and family counseling at the Mental Health Institute of Semmelweis University. A marriage counselor who is currently an employee of the Kandela Psychological and Coaching Center led by Emőke Tapolyai, Dániel Kovács, pastor of the Székesfehérvár Baptist Church, told FEOL. – Gary Chapman, an American author and relationship expert, wrote a book entitled “The Four Seasons of Marriage”. Imre Iván gives his lecture in connection with this volume, but not by analyzing the book, but by analyzing the four stages that appear in almost all relationships. The spring when the relationship begins, the summer when it unfolds and bears fruit, the fall when the decline comes, and the winter that no one expects. These four states appear in marriages, but everything is not over with winter, because as nature renews itself and plants sprout, a relationship also has the opportunity to gain new strength. Imre Iván will talk regarding the tasks in the spring and summer, with the help of which – because one way or another, autumn comes in all relationships – you can avoid winter. And if you don’t succeed, you shouldn’t give up either, because there is always the possibility of rebirth.
Many people can be built by thoughts that can improve their relationship

The program is free, the organizers did not even require registration. There will also be an interactive part of the event, when the speaker will answer the questions that arise.
– In the organization of the Transdanubian Baptist Mission, Imre Iván has been the main speaker several times at the so-called married couple’s weekends, we have organized such in the past here and in Austria as well – Dániel Kovács continued. – In this case, married couples spend three days each in a quiet hotel, where they can participate in marriage-related presentations and discuss with each other any problems they may have, all things that they might not have even thought regarding. Marriage is not a Christian or Jewish “invention”, as it is as old as humanity. The Bible already speaks of the first human couple as husband and wife. We cordially invite everyone, Christians and non-Christians alike, to participate in any of the city’s programs. It is important to nurture our marriage, even by listening to a lecture, because we can improve our relationship and develop it further. The events can help those who feel that their marriage is in ruins: come to the evenings, because they can get acquainted with inspiring thoughts that can get them out of their difficult, hopeless situation.
