On the afternoon of February 9, 2025, our library was full of life: 14 married couples gathered—some “golden,” with 50+ years of marriage, others somewhere in the middle, and some just beginning their journey together.
The marriage seminar was led by Sandra and Davor Kukec, experienced marriage and family counselors who shared their knowledge, interwoven with biblical stories, as well as wisdom on love and relationships. They encouraged us to reflect on how we navigate our relationships and consider deeper values—God’s values—that form the foundation of a healthy marriage.
The seminar was organized by the Evangelical Pentecostal Church Osijek. Special thanks to sisters Silva Lustig and Marina Sokol for their help and organization, to Jasna and Kruno Ravlić for the opening words and prayer, and to Roko Bunčić for leading us in worship.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
