“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves” ~ Romans 12:10
A weekend retreat for couples, to heal the past and to strength the future
Do you feel like your marriage is taking the strains of everyday life? Besides the marital dramas and problems, there is the work, the kids, the in laws and all in between. How much more can your marriage take before it starts to crack, if it has not already?
Weekend retreats for couples to transform your marriage
Nestled on 65 acres of bushland, away from the city our retreat center is a Sanctuary of God’s healing gifts through the inexhaustible love & mercy of Jesus Christ. In our couples retreat the Holy Spirit moves deep within the heart & soul of a marriage to purify it and make it truly whole. Marriage is a sacred participation of love, through our Lord, and through this participation and fundamental spiritual tools, all marriages can be strengthened and even saved. Providing hope and comfort to all the humiliating trials, this Spiritually filled retreat for couples takes you through the purification and healing of your affections so that your marriage can proceed to the richness and fullness of the beautiful & Holy Sacrament, whose Holiness is the Love of Christ.
Marriage Healing is possible through the Love of Christ
Are trying to keep it together but all feel lost even through couples therapy. The walls of division have been built, a loss of appreciation for the other is growing, while giving or receiving love is getting more & more difficult. To stay or to go is always a question lingering deep inside the inner thoughts as you just do not know how to move forward. Our retreat for couples is a soul & heart-healing retreat for marriages. It’s not a counseling retreat or a rehab but rather a retreat for the healing of you & your spouse within your marriage. Heal those deep wounds that you are unable to reach through other therapies as Jesus Christ knows every single one of your wounds & he wants to heal them so that you can both move forward from your brokenness and start again, together.
Our Next Divine Couples Retreat is 17th – 19th May 2024
Starts: Friday 5:30 pm | Concludes: Sunday 4:00pm
Our relationship-strengthening retreat is a healing, spiritual & meditation retreat in one. With breaks throughout the day, there is always time for silent prayer and reflection around our beautiful sanctuary veneration shrines & Eucharistic Chapel.
