Weekend Format
September 14th, 2008What happens on the weekend? Is it private? Is there group sharing?
The weekend begins on Friday evening with a presentation at 8 p.m. Couples may arrive at the hotel facility anytime after 6:30 p.m. to check-in to their room and to prepare for the first presentation.
Couples stay at the hotel the entire weekend. The weekend ends on Sunday at 4 p.m. Hotel accommodations and 3 meals on Saturday, and 2 meals on Sunday are included on the weekend. Further information about financial costs are available here .
Throughout the weekend, a series of presentations is given by a team of married couples and a priest. Each presentation allows you and your spouse a rare opportunity to look at yourselves as individuals, then to look at your marriage and relationship to one another, and finally to look at your relationship to God and to the world.
Couples are encouraged to focus on their relationship throughout the weekend. Therefore, the privacy of each couple is protected. The weekend is oriented strictly to each individual couple. You concentrate on your spouse to such an extent that you are hardly aware of the other couples present. The presentations are given to the group as a whole. After each presentation, husband and wife have time in the privacy of their room for their own personal discussion. There is no required group sharing during the weekend.
