"It wasn't just about escaping life, it was about getting in a space where we could focus on life and then make it better for us as a couple and us as a family. We recognise if we don't keep coming back together we are eventually going to drift apart, so we need to take intentional steps and the Sothern Marriage Retreat is one great way to do this."
We don't want to be greedy, but we also know how much the retreats have enriched our relationship. They have been a God send to our relationship and we are closer than we have ever been. We want to keep fostering that.
