Retrouvaille

Retrouvaille is a program for troubled marriages. It consists of a weekend experience and a series of 12 presentations offered within the three months following the weekend phase. (visit retrouvaille website)

It begins with a weekend in which husbands and wives are helped to re-establish communication and to gain new insights into themselves as individuals and as a couple. The weekend is not a spiritual retreat, a sensitivity group, a seminar, a social gathering, nor is it counseling. The weekend helps couples discover how listening, forgiveness, communication, and the dialogue process are powerful aids for building a loving and lasting relationship.

The follow-up presentations is an important phase of the Retrouvaille healing process. The hurt and the pain of falling out of love cannot be healed in a single weekend experience. This phase of the program offers a more relaxed setting to explore other subjects relating to marriage and love, to renew commitment, and to develop new insights and skills. The topics explored in this phase are:

* Beginning Again	* Love is a Decision
* A Look At Me	* Forgiveness
* Listening	* Sexuality
* A Place for God	* Trust
* Values	* Intimacy
* Conflict	* We are a Sacrament
