What to Expect
This is a working weekend in which we ask you to make the effort to deepen your relationship
and especially your communication as a couple. Most of the weekend is spent following a three step process:
listening to team presentations on marriage topics, journaling personal thoughts and feelings, then sharing and discussing as a couple.
Unlike other retreats, there is limited group activities and recreation.
This retreat is uniquely designed for you to have precious time together as a couple.
We are convinced that your dedicated work together on this weekend will bear fruit in a deeper communion, a richer relationship, and a clearer sense of the presence of God in your relationship.
