Hatcher conducted

a similar marriage seminar in Uganda in East Africa and says he found

that the needs of husbands and wives in Africa corresponds to their counterparts

in the United States. "Whether in Africa or America, women want security

and men need respect," Hatcher added.

Hatcher said

that family life has pretty much gone south in the last couple of decades.

"Our church had decided to reverse that trend in our little corner

of the globe," he said.

The seminar

is totally free, even providing child care for children through the fifth

grade. Lunch will be provided at no cost.

"More

than anything else we don't want any excuse to keep any couple from attending

and getting help for their marriage," Hatcher said.

The church

requests reservations for child care. Call the church office at 770-719-0303

and leave a clear message.

River's Edge

is at 1092 S. Jeff Davis Drive in Fayetteville.
