What’s In Store For You and Your Spouse During This Couples Get-Away?
We’ve planned a night of love and fun, powerful break-out sessions, inspirational guest speakers, and many opportunities for reconnection, reinvigoration, and marital bonding. Without the usual distractions of the daily hustle and bustle, kids, and cell phones, this time will allow us to learn about ourselves and our spouses once again.
You will be fellowshipping with other couples who are doing exactly what you are doing, while improving your love for the long haul. This will be an occasion of fun and relaxation while spending intentional time with the one you love.
Most marriages are far from being perfect, but rather in a progressive stage. This means that we are ever-changing and growing together. Married folks may be sprinting, jogging, or barely stumbling ahead, but through God’s grace and your commitment, your marriage will keep moving forward. God will get each of us where we supposed to be, it is a process.
Vision
To re-establish a bond of communication and to cultivate closeness with our spouse and with God. This retreat will inspire married couples to become more connected. No phones, No kids, and plenty of love and fun. This retreat is a financial investment that is worth the price and time. We will focus on this season within our marriage. Sex is good! Sex is God’s idea, it is a gift from God to us married folks (Genesis 1: 26-28 and 2: 24).
Mission
Marriage is our most important long-term commitment in life. We must take time and be continually committed to investing in our relationship as a married couple.
THESE TWO DAYS WILL energize our relationship with one another and create a greater bond.
THIS GET-AWAY WILL allow us to enjoy quiet moments together and experience a faith-infused environment cultivating closeness and enhance our communication.
THIS RETREAT WILL equip us with skills to transition through marital seasons and help us to overcome past hurts, and challenges of today and tomorrow’s issues/challenges.
THIS TIME TO OURSELVES WILL strengthen the Body, Soul, and Spirit of our marriage.
