Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference – Huntsville, ON
Nov 22 - Nov 24, 2024
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.
Sheldon & Valerie Dean
Sheldon and Valerie met in 1997 while working at summer camp and have been together ever since. Though they’ve had many ups and downs, including teen pregnancy and almost separating 13 years into their marriage, they would tell you they are more in love now than ever. They married in 2001, have three young adult children and love canoeing the Saskatchewan rivers and rapids together. They work with FamilyLife Canada and have a passion to see healthy, thriving marriages across the country and love sharing the difference Jesus can make in our lives. Together they host a podcast called Marriage Talk.
