Marriage Booster Retreat
Encouraging, Practical, Fun! Finding a little time for your marriage can be a challenge. Who has time to go away for an entire weekend anymore? The Family Fest Marriage Retreat is perfect for couples who want to get away from their hectic schedule and just focus on each other. This one-day format is perfect for couples on the go. The day is encouraging, energetic, romantic, faith-filled, and just plain fun. We look at this day more like a health club than a hospital for your marriage. Check it out. We think you will really like it.
Our next Marriage Booster is on Saturday, November 16th, 2024 at the Lost Spur Golf Course and Event Center, Eagan, MN.
