Confessions of an Engaged Man in Ministry: Tips for a Healthy Engagement

By | January 3, 2011

This past year has been one of the greatest years of my life. While the New Year began with its usual resolutions: get in better shape, eat better, etc., everything changed at the end of February, when I got engaged to my beautiful fiancé, Alissa. The joy and anticipation we felt were like nothing I had ever experienced in my entire life. We were so excited to dream, not only about the wedding day, but also about what married life would look like for us. We also knew that while planning the wedding was important, we needed to ensure that it did not consume us. Below are some highlights and my thoughts from this past year in my experience as an engaged man in ministry.

Note: It is extremely important that AT A MINIMUM the youth minister and CORE Members on the night understand the basic concepts of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, for this night. There is a special feature on www.lifeteen.com about the Theology of the Body, as well as an issue of LIFE Teen’s The Pulse (Volume 3, Spring 2004), which
