It impacted both of us a
lot—we were getting divorced. Saved our marriage, gave us both a new outlook on
how to treat each other and what we both need—came here as two single people
and leaving like we’re starting over, like we started dating again—learning
forgiveness and how to make our marriage right. A lot of help. Thank you.

My husband and I came to the
weekend discouraged with each other and our marriage. The weekend was full of
so much wonder, encouraging marital advice that we even got the opportunity to
use while on the weekend. We are leaving hopeful and overjoyed that we married
on another.

There were tons of practical
advice/tips based on biblical principles & the speakers were very
transparent and relatable. On date night we had an opportunity to put into
practice what we learned earlier in the day—how to forgive one another.

I came here with a marriage
devastated by unfaithfulness, anger, hurt. We drove here in separate
cars—almost not coming at all—with little hope, yet desperate for a glimmer of
hope. I leave with two days of real, hopeful communication with my wife knowing
there is a lot of work to do and a lot of healing to happen, but with a lot of
hope.

The weekend content was
crafted in such a way that it somehow dissolved the walls I’d constructed
regarding being open and vulnerable with my wife. I feel like the communication
and connection we experienced in 3 days made up for a few years of gathering
stagnation in our marriage.

This is our 5th
year in a row at WTR. We love the time away and the opportunity to focus on our
marriage. It continually amazes me how God teaches us something new each year
and continues to strengthen our marriage in Him.

This is our fifth Weekend to
Remember. When we first went, 5 years ago, it transformed our marriage. We go
every year now as a tune-up for our marriage.

Things are a struggle at my
house. I was contemplating leaving last week, but I knew this (event) was
coming. It’s good to have some tools to realize my wife is not the enemy. Divorce
is not an option. Through God, I can change. Through God, WE can change.

We have struggled for almost
5 years starting with the premature birth of our triplets, a 9-week NICU stay,
to one of the kids being diagnosed with brain cancer. The kids came first and
we lost ourselves during this. Weekend to Remember has allowed us to remember
why we got married and our purpose to glorify God together. We are not each
other’s enemy after all.

Before attending this getaway
our marriage was in crisis. The getaway has given me many useful tools on how
to move forward & work on repairing our marriage & given me continued
hope.
