A couple's weekend to
strengthen your marriage

Marriage Enrichment Retreat

Focus on the Family Canada is coming across Canada to local hotels to provide couples with the proven principles of the Hope Restored marriage intensive program. Not only will you have more time than a conference to understand the program material, but you’ll also have the opportunity to make a weekend of it and book a hotel room for you and your spouse!

These retreats will take place from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon with approximately 25 couples per retreat.

Why should I go?

  • Enjoy two romantic nights in a hotel and take time away from the busyness of life and family to simply spend time together.
  • You’ll not only learn the principles of this program, but you’ll also be taught how to apply them to your own relationship.
  • With this more relaxed atmosphere than a conference, you get more time to go through the program materials.
  • With a group of approximately 25 couples, there will be time to ask our speakers questions during and after the teaching.

Session 1
Understanding Relationship Dynamics: Positive, Powerful, Promising Moments
Session 1

By looking back at the patterns of your positive, powerful and promising moments, you and your spouse can create a better understanding of what you need from one another.

In order to work toward a goal, you need to know what that goal is. With this healthy marriage model, you’ll better understand what your relationship should actually look like.

When our buttons are pushed, we react, which often causes our spouse’s buttons to be pushed and for them to then react. This is the Fear Cycle. But there is a way out of it.

The best thing you can do for your marriage is to invest in your own personal health, but everyone needs something different for their well-being. Becoming a student of yourself is the first step.

There are two styles of communication: work talk and heart talk. We’re all great at work talk, but very few of us know how to actually engage in heart talk, which is where intimacy in marriage thrives.

In order for you to seek unity, you need to feel safe and on the same team with your spouse. By changing your how you think about decision-making, you can change the outcome to a win-win every time.
