The retreat weekend creates an atmosphere for the two of you to concentrate exclusively on each other, free of the distractions, pressures, and daily interruptions of life - a "time out" away from home, friends, and wedding preparations.
It is a quiet weekend, specifically designed to give you the opportunity to talk honestly about your future together - an opportunity to discover a deeper appreciation of your relationship and God's call to unite in a permanent union, the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Presenting teams usually consist of two married couples and a priest who give a series of presentations about issues such as Communication, Intimacy, Values, and Sacramental Marriage. After each presentation, you'll be given a series of questions to complete individually. You'll then have time to share your thoughts and written answers quietly with one another.
With the exception of meals and a few group activities, personal reflection and dialogue are the main emphasis of the weekend.
