From May 17 to 18, the Gospel Church on Daxi Road, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, hosted a couples' event, attended by nine couples.

According to the church, the event integrated biblical principles with relationship-building exercises with the theme "Let Christ Be the Lord of the Family." It aimed to help couples rediscover the original essence of love amid the fast pace of modern life and to make marriage a witness to the relationship between Christ and the church.

During the "You Are My Eyes" activity, some participants closed their eyes and relied on their spouse's guidance, while others chose to move forward hand in hand, maintaining unity. The takeaway from the exercise was clear: success lay not in "my way" or "your way," but in finding "our way." Following the activity, a newlywed couple shared, "We've realized how many blind spots we have. We must learn to empathize with each other's weaknesses and provide mutual support."

By expressing their heartfelt thoughts, those unspoken words finally received a response. In the "Time Mailbox" session, couples rekindled their love by making emotional investments and writing heartfelt love letters to one another.

Concluding the event, all nine couples signed a renewed love vow. Several couples remarked that the experience was even more moving than their wedding ceremonies, as it was through this camp that they truly learned how to love.
