Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference – Montebello, QC
Mar 28 - Mar 30, 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.

Please Note: The speakers at this conference will be presenting in English, and to serve Francophone couples, there will be the option of live, in-ear French translation and French workbooks. See Event Details in French.
