Why Come Away
Every marriage needs a weekend like this
Normal life fills every space. Work, children, ministry, family, phone. Even strong marriages need time to breathe. This retreat creates that space by design.
Reconnect without distraction
No commute, no chores, no interruptions. Just you, your spouse, and a setting built to help you find each other again.
Be poured into, together
Workshops and teaching that strengthen you as a couple, with space to talk, pray, and process side by side.
Renew your vows
A dedicated vow renewal ceremony. A chance to say again what God witnessed the first time, with everything you now know.
Fellowship with other couples
You are not the only couple doing hard and holy work. Meet others who get it, and walk away with friends for the journey.
What's Included
Everything taken care of. You just show up.
