  • Have you grown distant from your spouse?
  • Have you stopped communicating with your spouse?
  • Is there little or no intimacy left in your marriage?
  • Are you living separate lives but still living together?
  • Have you considered separation or divorce from your spouse?

If you are currently experiencing any of the above situations in your marriage then Retrouvaille (French word meaning rediscovery) is for you. The Retrouvaille Program is for married couples facing difficult challenges in their relationship.

Sue and I were high school sweethearts and we were very close and in love the first ten years of our marriage. Then misery set in when I was depressed and unhappy which made me very distant and disconnected. Our priest suggested the Retrouvaille program.

The Retrouvaille Weekend gave us hope that we could make our marriage better. It was not easy and it took hard work. We followed the communication technique that was taught over the Weekend and we stayed involved with the Retrouvaille Community. We needed to surround ourselves with couples that believed in marriage.

Retrouvaille is a Christian Marriage Program, Catholic in origin, where couples of all faiths or no faith background are encouraged to attend. The presenters are not trained marriage counsellors, but rather couples sharing their personal stories of marital struggles and the tools they used to rediscover their love.

The Retrouvaille Community of London/ St Thomas was formed in 2004. During the last seventeen years we have served 375 couples. Our Weekends are usually held in-person during Spring and Fall of each year. Now that we are in a COVID environment, we are offering a Virtual Weekend Experience for couples to attend from the comfort and safety of their own home.

We believe in the Retrouvaille Program and we have worked to help other hurting couples for the past twenty years. On Sunday afternoon, many couples will wonder why they waited so long to attend. We ask couples, “Is your marriage worth 48 hours before you give up?” We are here to offer HOPE.

Retrouvaille London/ St Thomas is offering a Virtual Weekend experience to any hurting couples from April 8 to April 11. To learn more visit www.retrouvaillelondon.com. To register, phone Greg & Anita at 519-243-0687 or email retrouvaillelondonstthomas@gmail.com. Confidentially is assured.
