Couple's Retreat Recap

BubbleShare: Share photos - Easy Photo Sharing

What a wonderful time! We hope you enjoyed your experience and took the opportunity to grow and have fun with your spouse!

We wanted to make available some of the resources that were provided during the retreat.
HERE is the link to the pictures that were professionally taken.
HERE are the massage techniques.
HERE are the love starter questions.
HERE are instructions for the relationship timeline.

We also have a growing collection of marriage enrichment resources in the Spouse & Family office available for you to check out. This includes Gary Thomas' 'Sacred Marriage' book and dvd that were shown at the retreat. If there is enough interest, we may be inclined to have a "movie night" where we can watch the entirety of the videos together over snacks.

Help us do next year's retreat up right too ~ LEAVE A COMMENT about
1. What you most enjoyed about the retreat
2. How the experience enriched your marriage
3. Suggestions for next year
and we'll randomly select a winner to receive a date gift basket! We'll announce the winner at Couple's Connect on March 9th!

1) As always, we loved the Metrognomes! We were heartbroken when they left early at 10:15 this year instead of 11.
2) Time alone with protected privacy (no one to knock on doors) enriched our marriage.
3) Time to get to know and interact with one set group of couples around the tables would have been nice. We were just getting to know them when the video session started.

1. I really appreciated the freedom to pick what fit you throughout the weekend. I enjoyed being able to play games on Friday night with the live band in the background.
2. Just having space to spend uninterrupted time together, in play, in conversation 1 on 1, and in conversation with others. It was enriching, just because we were able to enjoy being together without interruption/responsibility.
3. I think for next year the movie/wii/office options might fit better in the evening than the morning.

Overall, it was well planned, and provided what we needed in a retreat. Thanks for all the work that went into it!
