FULL DESCRIPTION
Love changes with every season of marriage. At times it feels effortless and full of joy; at other times, life’s demands can leave couples feeling distant and in need of romance. This resource is designed for real couples. Whether you’re madly in love, confident in your communication and prayer life, or struggling to feel connected to God or your partner, these dates are for you. Each one meets you right where you are and invites you to grow together.
Fulton Sheen once said, “It takes three to get married:” a husband, a wife, and God at the center.
Near to You: a 10-date Marriage Retreat at home, is designed to help you connect with each other (or re-connect) with the help of God’s grace. Each date is unique. Some are lighthearted and fun, others invite deeper conversation, and still others foster romance and intimacy. Together, they invite you to laugh, pray, hope for the future, and grow in holiness as a couple.
Will you learn along the way? Yes! You will learn more about each other, your relationship, and what role your faith has in your marriage. But, this is not a textbook. It’s a personally designed retreat, with intentional date nights, that you can do together at your own pace. This retreat is fun and approachable, sometimes challenging, but always centered on helping you draw near to God and to one another.
Every date includes:
A creative experience (from a dinner date to a casual porch-side cocktail hour or laughter-filled games)
A “Getting Started” conversation prompt to begin easy, yet intentional, conversations
A prayer and Scripture reflection to ground your evening in God’s Word
A short teaching that connects marriage with faith in real, practical ways
Guided questions for deeper connection and intimacy
A take-home practice to carry the grace into your week
