Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference – Huntsville, ON
Nov 21 - Nov 23, 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
Brent & Céleste Trickett
Brent and Céleste live in Saskatoon with their four children who have turned their home into a small zoo. They have been married since 2000 and have served with FamilyLife since 2013. They are the National Directors of FamilyLife Canada and their passion is to help others experience the joy of bringing help and hope to the marriages and families in their communities.
Che & Shireen Spencer
Che and Shireen married in 2003 with great expectations of a life of fun and adventure! Life has certainly been an adventure, although not always fun! Che is in the film and television industry and Shireen is a pastor, teacher and business owner. They have been involved in marriage ministry since 2006 in the local church and with FamilyLife Canada since 2018. Che loves the water and the snow and anything outdoors. Shireen prefers instead to visit with friends, or lose herself in a good book or some great music. While in Jamaica this year, they both ziplined for the first, and the very last time! They stay busy trying to keep up with their two boys who are active in sports and music.
