Retrouvaille Weekend

Retrouvaille has a weekend coming up in soon January 20-22 in the Acadiana area.

Retrouvaille is a ministry for couples in troubled marriages.  Retrouvaille is French for rediscovery or reawakening.  You may be more familiar with marriage encounter, which is intended to enrich good, stable marriages.  Retrouvaille is more like a lifeline for troubled or broken marriages and hurting couples. It is for married couples who are anxious about their marriage, alone or distant from their partner, disillusioned or bored in their marriage, or who are experiencing coldness or conflict. 

Locally, Retrouvaille of Acadiana hosts three weekends per year followed by the six post-weekend sessions on Sunday afternoons.

The weekends involve intensive work on communication skills and provide the foundation for the forgiveness and trust essential for rebuilding broken marriages.  The six post-sessions frame up the concepts and provide practical solutions such as a method to resolve conflicts in a way that avoids the hurts of the past. 

Retrouvaille is a peer ministry, meaning that all of the presenting couples are past attendees who came to Retrouvaille with marriages in trouble and who have firsthand experience of the benefits that can result.

Retrouvaille is a Catholic ministry and encourages individual and spiritual growth and the ultimate goal is to reinstall in hurting couples the joy and satisfaction of  sacramental marriage.
