Colossians 3: 18-21
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Care for You and Yours:
Family relationships are among some of the most wonderful and complex, and they will require a lot of care over the years. When we find materials that could be helpful, we will share them here in addition to our ongoing support and meaningful resources for life's milestones.

Marriage &
Pre-Marriage
MARRIAGE
If you are in a season of crisis in your marriage, you are not alone. Sometimes one or two conversations with a pastor can help bring clarity and support, other times a group or mentoring relationship can help you work through your difficulties together, and then sometimes your relationship will be best helped by the ongoing support of a professional therapist. We are here to help you choose a path toward healing, to recommend resources, and to pray with you along the way. Please call to schedule time with a pastor.
PRE-MARRIAGE
We want to help you prepare for a lifelong marriage, not just your wedding day. If you are engaged or thinking about engagement, our pre-marriage mentoring is designed to help couples share their hopes and fears with one another and discover the joys and difficulties faced in marriage as they prepare for that big commitment. If you are wishing to be married at the Desert Vineyard or by one of our pastors you must complete the pre-marriage process. For more information on this process, contact us at 661-945-2777 or stop by to pick up a brochure with all the details.
