David & Kate Dawson and Peter & Theresa Martin made a fantastic and lively combination of speakers for the Diocese of Winona-Rochester's annual marriage retreat in February. Couples enjoyed a balance of games, talks, prayer, and time to dialogue together. The most gripping moment for most couples seemed to be their prayer together in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
This was a retreat where couples expressed that they not only learned something intellectually, but they were able to experience it in their marriage. There were tears, laughter, and gratitude as the weekend came to a close.
Praise God for all the graces and joys He bestowed on these couples! Here are just a few of their thoughts:
“This retreat was such an amazing gift for us!”
~
“Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!”
~
"We feel the spiritual depth of our marriage, achieved over the past 7 years, was doubled at the retreat."
~
"I've been attending retreats all my life and even 20+ years in religious life before we were married, and this was the most powerful retreat I have ever attended."
~
“The adoration couple prayer really brought healing to our marriage.”
