WHO IS BEHIND ‘LOVE THAT LASTS’

FamilyLife Australia is a Christian organisation with over 15 years experience running weekend marriage conferences and getting a message of hope out to couples. We’ve had over 5,000 Aussie couples come to our previous Weekend to Remember conferences and thousands listen to our daily national radio programs. Our new ‘Love that Lasts’ relationship getaway has been designed for today’s modern couple by a team of married, professional couples who have distilled what it takes to have a successful relationship and family.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

We believe that the best of family life can be found in long term secure relationships. It’s not as elusive as it seems. Committed relationships are the place where we really learn to love and grow. The FamilyLife team behind ‘Love that Lasts’ are committed to bringing a relevant message to you in ways that will positively change your relationship with your partner and your life.
