First Annual Conference

Determined to have successful marriages -- through faith, healing and understanding -- Women of Worth seeks to help those individuals in opposite-gender relationships who's partner struggles with same-gender attractions.

Little does the world know that there are many successful marriages between a man and a woman where one of the individuals in the relationship struggles with same-gender attraction. These relationships have trials specific to their situation but most of the issues that arise are the same as those in normal heterosexual relationships. This conference aims to strengthen ourselves, our marriages and and relationship with God.

History

Several women, in marriages with husbands who struggle with same-gender attraction, were exchanging thoughts and experiences over email. They commented that there are several weekend retreats aimed at helping men with same-gender attractions, and when their husbands had returned from these retreats, their husbands were more enganged in their marriages and more attentive to their wive's needs. At the same time, these women recognized that there weren't any retreats specifically focused on the needs of wives in these relationships. With a goal in mind to help themselves and their friends in similar relationships, the WOW conference began to develop.

We'd like to thank NorthStar (http://www.northstarlds.org) for creating an environment where we were able to come together as a community of spouses, all searching to better our marriages. We'd like to thank all of those that have joined the NorthStar Spouse's group and have contributed to the creation of this WOW Conference.
