Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference – Fredericton, NB
Apr 4 - Apr 6, 2025
What is a Weekend Getaway?
The Weekend Getaway is a marriage conference uniquely designed to enrich your relationship. For most couples it’s a chance to reconnect, re-establish the foundation and rekindle romance. For others, it’s a fresh start. For some, it will be the weekend that saves a marriage.
Wherever you’re at in your relationship, this retreat is a weekend to remember. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm, even fun. You’ll hear from real couples doing real life together… God’s way. You’ll be given time to process what you’re learning, just between the two of you (there’s no group sharing expected). And together, you’ll make a plan for a marriage that lasts a lifetime.

Speakers
Randy & Donna Carter
Randy and Donna married so young in 1981 that they practically raised each other. Or rather, they tried. After 7 years of marriage, Donna was convinced of the futility of raising Randy and had their first daughter followed by another in 1992. Randy began his career in business but went into youth ministry in 1983. Today he’s a youth ministry consultant and speaker. Donna practiced Interior Design until the success of her first book propelled her into a career as a speaker and podcaster/radio host. They began speaking with FamilyLife in 2015 and love sharing their experiences and the stage together.
Jay & Gretta Kennedy
Jay and Gretta live on Vancouver Island. They have been married since 2003 and are in the throes of raising their 3 teenage children. With over 20 years of full-time ministry experience, including being on staff with FamilyLife Canada, they offer a wealth of wisdom and insight into Christian living, parenting and marriage. They speak with vulnerability, authenticity, and humour, using their own experiences to encourage parents and couples in their marriages.
