"The seed sown among thorns

is the one who hears the word,

but then worldly anxiety and

the lure of riches choke the

word and it bears no fruit. But

the seed sown on rich soil is

the one who hears the word

and understands it, who in-

deed bears fruit and yields a

hundred or sixty or thirty-

fold." - Mt 13:22-23

Is your marriage going down the right road . . . or is it a little off

track?

In marriage, communication is more than just talking. At some

point, did you stop sharing about the things that were important

to you? Did your spouse?

Improving a marriage takes time and a conscious effort to learn

about your spouse. Growing closer in a marriage does not happen

automatically. Retrouvaille is a marriage program dedicated to

helping couples grow closer and develop a stronger bond. You

give your heart and soul to everything you do, between your work

and your family. Are you giving your heart and soul to your mar-

riage? Sometimes the distance between a husband and a wife can

seem so wide that it cannot be repaired. Retrouvaille is a marriage

program designed to bring couples closer together For more infor-

mation about an upcoming Retrouvaille Weekend program for

couples, contact registration team: at 1-800-470-2230 or visit our

website: www.retrouvailleMT.org or
