Retrouvaille: A Lifeline for Marriages
The word Retrouvaille(re-tro-vi with a long i.) is a French word meaning rediscovery. This program helps couples heal and renew their marriages and offers tools needed to rediscover a loving marriage relationship. Do you feel lost, alone or bored in your marriage? Are you frustrated, hurt or angry with your spouse? Are you constantly fighting? Have you thought about separation or divorce? Does talking about it only make it worse? Thousands of couples headed for cold, unloving relationships have successfully overcome their marriage problems by attending the program. Some couples come during the initial signs of a marriage problem and others are in a state of despair. The Retrouvaille Program consists of a weekend experience combined with a series of 6 post-weekend sessions. The tools learned here will help put your marriage in order again. The main emphasis of the program is on communication between husband and wife and will give you the opportunity to rediscover each other as well as examine your lives together in a new, positive way.

Retrouvaille – A Lifeline for Troubled Marriages
What is Retrouvaille? Retrouvaille is a program designed to help couples who are hurting in their marriage. There are 3 phases — the Weekend, the Post sessions and monthly support meetings. The Weekend Phase consists of a series of presentations
given by a team of three couples and a priest. The team presents a technique of communication that enables couples to take a good look at many areas of the marriage relationship. After each presentation, couples are given time in the privacy of their room to discuss the presentation.
