A Benedictine Monastery
The Song of Songs in chapter 2 says, “My Beloved is for me, and I for my Beloved.” The retreat is based on the premise that we are for each other, united in a single heart. Marriage is a covenant and not a social agreement. It is the place where two hearts unite eternally to live their love adventure in its entirety. Marriage constitutes a community of love and is supported by several pillars: fidelity, trust, dedication to each other, mutual forgiveness, and a spiritually healthy context.
During this retreat, we will have moments of prayer, reflection, inner healing, and renewal of marriage vows. We invite you to spend a weekend with your loved one where both can rest, pray, and reflect on your marriage.
