1. Friday night I had to drink just to attend. My spouse and I
angrily wrote “Divorce” in each other’s manuals. Not a good start. Through your
biblical teachings and understanding of male/female differences, I believe we
are off to a new start. Thank you to all involved.

This weekend
has revolutionized the way my fiancé and I thought about our future marriage.
I’ve learned how to not only be an excellent husband and father, but how to be
a REAL man of God.

This getaway
has had a major effect on me, my husband, and our marriage. We have been so
blessed and our marriage and life have been renewed. We would have failed had
we not come here.

During the 1st
night I felt lost and that my marriage was hopeless. But over the next 2 days,
I felt a renewing of my faith and commitment to God and my wife.

Having
experienced a prior divorce, this weekend cultivated a renewed hope beyond just
surviving and “being” married again, but thriving and growing in oneness. The
section just for men was a wonderful call to vision. Also, my wife and I are
recently married; this is a crucial way to build a foundation.

One of the
greatest dates I have had with my wife! Should have made our first Weekend to
Remember after 2 years of marriage instead of 32 years.

When I first
showed up, I was at my last straw. I was mad at God for the bad things that
have happened. I blamed everyone and everything. By the third day I felt the
conviction of this. I have a new sense of responsibility for my wife and
children. I’m all in!

We are
excited to apply what we have learned in our home and marriage. Before our
marriage was good, now it’s going to be fantastic!

This getaway
is our “shot in the arm” that absolutely is needed as we tend to get “idle” in
our growth with each other and sadly even with reconnecting ourselves as a
couple back to God-united. We run to him on our own but forget to go to him
together. This weekend reminded us and aligned us again with God as a couple.

1.
Our marriage
was at a place where we were more like roommates than married. Physically I was
still there, but my heart was not. Due to many issues (too many to list) I
thought that this was all I could ever expect of my marriage. This getaway
changed that! We are now on the road to not just recovery but to the marriage
of my dreams!

1. Pastor comment/thank you
I am a lead
pastor of a 7-year old church plant. These past 7 years have been the most
challenging times for my marriage and family. Weeks ago I was getting ready to
leave my wife. I sought personal ministry from a close friend of mine who is
also a pastor. He and his wife have helped us on a journey to reconciliation.
This weekend couldn’t have come at a better time. This is truly a weekend to
remember. My marriage is now healthier than ever. God has done a quick work,
and we know he is faithful to finish the good work in us!
