Wouldn’t it be great if a book or online series could guarantee a better marriage? While we all want quick results, a strong, healthy marriage requires real effort from both spouses. We’re here to support couples and remind them they’re not alone. Despite all the preparation—through classes, books, or videos—real-life differences between spouses make ongoing support essential.

Most couples didn’t anticipate the challenges they'd face. We understand because we’ve been there, too. With careers, technology distractions, social expectations, children, and extended family, it can be overwhelming.

In fact, “1 in 5 married church goers struggle in their marriage.” (Communio-Barna study)

Couples often face challenges with communication, conflict, and intimacy. Marriages can start to feel more like business partnerships, with spouses becoming roommates instead of soulmates. Our peer-led program offers encouragement, hope, and practical tools to help couples build the marriage they truly want. Through inspiring talks from couples who have overcome their own struggles, participants find reassurance that they’re not alone. Peer ministers share insights from their own journeys to help others reconnect. Over the weekend, couples engage in guided exercises privately, practicing new skills and taking home powerful communication tools to stay connected for years to come.

God lives in community as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and, so we, too, were designed to live in community. Retrouvaille provides couples with an opportunity to join a worldwide community, either locally or online, to continue their journey, accompanied by other couples who are dedicated to living out their vocation and building healthy marriages. Monthly groups continue as long as the couple wants to be engaged in them. As an all-volunteer ministry, we do not charge for these follow up sessions, but we do accept donations with deep appreciation.

God’s plan for marriage is the foundation of our program. Without clergy our program can not function. We have a Priest or Pastor couple as part of every weekend program. Come experience our program as our guest to learn more about our program.
