Living in Love Retreat
January 26 -27, 2019
One of the best New Year’s resolutions!
Begin 2019 with a weekend away from the demands of life for the Living in Love Retreat and fall more deeply in-love with your spouse! The experience helps married couples draw close to each other through refreshing insights and powerful strategies, and you only share with your spouse. So whether you've been married for 5 months or 50 years, chauffering kids to and fro, or perhaps feeling that empty-nester disconnect, this transformative workshop will bring you more joy...and will spill over into all areas of your life!

Why Living in Love?
The Living in Love Retreat-Workshop is an engaging weekend for married couples that really works! It teaches couples how to approach their marriage in radical love with profound results. Drawing on the wisdom of the authentic Catholic teachings on St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body, you will learn refreshing insights and powerful strategies to re-invigorate your marriage. After the weekend experience, couples say they feel like they are on their honeymoon again!
Couples who stay successfully and happily married have made marriage their mission. They choose not to just "settle down" and coast along, but to actively keep growing in their relationship. This takes a conscious choice as life is so busy and we can all get bogged down with jobs, kids, and the many demands of life. But there is so much joy waiting -- we shouldn't just be surviving, but thriving!
Learn some of the most up-to-date ideas and skills and, in the process, rediscover the joy of being a man and woman in love!
Who is the weekend for?
• All ages and stages from young family to empty-nester, grand-parenthood and beyond – we also welcome other faith backgrounds
• Couples in stable marriages who want to experience a deeper connection
• Couples wanting some much needed quality time out together
• Couples in a stressed or fragile relationship, rebuilding their marriage
• Couples celebrating a wedding anniversary
• Couples interested in mentoring engaged couples for marriage
(After the retreat, there is a follow-up open to all, that not only further enriches marriages in an experiential way, but also prepares couples to mentor the engaged and helps build a marriage prep program in the parish at the same time.)
A Unique Couple Experience
The Living in Love weekend is an experience for you, as a couple – your time is precious and we value your investment in your marriage! Presented by trained married couples, you will hear talks as a group but reflection time happens individually and privately as a couple. There is no group sharing about your marriage. All meals are provided – you will be well taken care of and the weekend includes a lovely candelight dinner! Please let us know if you have any dietary needs.
If the cost is a hardship for you, please contact us – scholarships are available. Also, if you have no option for family or friends providing babysitting for your children, please contact us to see if we can make some arrangements.
