Retrouvaille: A Lifeline for Troubled Marriages. England/Wales Weekend 15th – 17th September at Welwyn Garden City AL8.
Retrouvaille is the name of a programme designed to help heal and renew marriages. The word "Retrouvaille" simply means "rediscovery". The programme offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your partner, and a loving relationship in your marriage. During the weekend a team of three couples and a priest give a series of presentations. You will be encouraged to put the past behind you and start re-discovering each other. The team presents a technique of communication and practical tools that enables you to take a good look at most areas of your relationship. They will share how they were able to benefit from these techniques themselves. After each presentation you will have a chance to reflect on it by yourself, then discuss it in complete privacy with your spouse. The team do not provide marriage advice or counselling. The weekend is not a 'miracle cure'; therefore, the post-weekend sessions have been designed to continue the marriage renewal begun on the weekend. During the post-weekend sessions, the technique learned on the weekend is further developed and is used to explore additional areas of the marriage relationship.
