Retrouvaille Weekend

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

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

to you? 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 dedicat-

ed 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

marriage? Sometimes the distance between a husband and a wife

can seem so wide that it cannot be repaired. Retrouvaille is a mar-

riage program designed to bring couples closer together

program for couples, contact registration team: at 1-800-470-2230
