Couples Reignite Love in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, TEX. – Nearly 20 couples recommitted to their marriages the first weekend of February during a special event organized by the Albuquerque Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church’s women’s ministries. 

During the Sabbath service, couples stood together to reaffirm their commitment. One couple facing health challenges participated remotely, renewing their vows while watching the service’s livestream.

A Sabbath afternoon Q&A session encouraged open discussion about the challenges and joys of marriage. Antonio Cano, Texico Conference executive secretary, provided insight and encouragement, helping couples renew their strength for the year ahead.

With divorce rates among Protestants estimated at 51 percent, and similar trends likely affecting Adventists, churches are seeking ways to equip couples for lasting marriages. 

While no single event can resolve marital challenges, church leaders believe intentional efforts can make a difference. Thank you to Antonio Cano and our women's ministries leaders as well as the couples who participated.
