Every year since God saved my life and marriage, we renew our vows under the stars on the "Love Like you mean it Cruise" I cry of happiness when my husband looks in my eyes, under the stars, with so much love and I remember, Ephesians 3:20. I'm reminded that if we seek his kingdom first, God can do so much more than we can possibly imagine. That is what this cruise is for me every year, a reminder that God took a dead marriage and life and turned it into a wedding anniversary every February. Thank you Lord for Family Life and this cruise!

Best week ever, sharing life with other couples who are like minded or who are trying to reconnect with their spouse . Celebrated our 25 years together and can't wait to go again.

We joined the Love Like You Mean it family, in 2012 and came back again in 2014. We are planning on going again next year. It's like having marriage insurance! :-) Such a tremendous experience and completely life-giving!

My husband and I went in 2012 because we were pretty desperate for some help!! Needless to say we made a 180 on the cruise and came home so pumped up and ready for the future together. It was hands down the BEST thing we have ever done for our marriage. We went again in 2013 and were once again so blessed by the amazing speakers and artists. It is worth every penny. We missed this year but booked today for next year!! Can't wait.

We were celebrating our 10 year Anniversary in 2011 and we never had a honeymoon! Our original plan was to go on the K-Love cruise and they were sold out...then the operator suggested LLYMi cruise, with a special of buy one get one FREE!!! God made a way for us! We had an amazing time, made new friends, and praised God every step of the way!

Words cannot express the beauty God has created across the deepest oceans during our cruise. The feeling of oneness with other believers - just like it will be in heaven- was amazing!

We didn't know what to expect last year on our very first cruise. It was so wonderful that we had to come back this year and we brought some friend's with us. We are already booked for next year and my parents will be coming with us this time!! I enjoy the quality time with my spouse!! Each cruise we have meet some wonderful people and cant wait to see them again next year. The main sessions, speakers, singers are great!!!! Who couldnt enjoy the endless amounts of food and ice cream. The best part is being out in the middle of the ocean with no phone service!! We got to enjoy each others company without any distractions!! Wish we didnt have to get off the ship today! Hurry up Febuary 2016 we are ready to set sail again!!

This is the second year my wife and I have been on this cruise. When we were first married, we didn't take a "real" vacation for the first 15 years of our marriage. We used to say that we couldn't afford it, with having four children and bills and other things fighting for our time and money. What we have learned after 24 years of marriage is that we can't afford NOT to do this. We were young when we got married, I was 19 and she was 17 and we never really received any strong counsel on how to navigate this thing called marriage. The Love Like You Mean It Cruise is the event that I wish we had when we were young. From the inspiring speakers to the God-filled worship that we have experienced this trip is everything we could ever ask for. We already booked for next year and plan to make this an annual trip. Our marriage is too important to handle lightly and the ministry at Family Life Today makes sure that they give us the tools necessary to live this life together. When I look at what we spend our finances on, this is best investment we could have ever made! Thank you Family Life Today for loving us and our marriage enough to give us this option!

This was our second LLYM cruise and I really enjoyed Ann Wilson and the War Room movie premeir, I plan on implementing one in my house somewhere. Our time in Key West was short, but I loved the peacefulness of Key West.Ann Wilson testimony gave me a lot of ah ha moments.We did not make the vowel renewal again,but we felt renewed and relaxed,as a couple you need that time together even if just to catch up and talk about the future plans for your family.I thank God for the couple (Sheppard's) that invited us on the 2014 cruise. With Gods continued blessing we will attend each year as our couples getaway.
