WHAT IS GRACE MARRIAGE?

Grace Marriage is a ministry designed to enrich, protect, and grow your marriage. Using Biblical, grace-based materials you will have time to talk with your spouse about various topics and explore ways to enrich your relationship.

​

It is a marriage ministry that provides a way for you to carve out time for an intentional commitment to grow in your relationship with each other and the Lord.

​

Four times a year husbands and wives meet with other couples in various stages of life to explore different aspects of marriage. The sessions are called marriage coaching.

  • Marriage coaching is an intentional and proactive approach to re-focus on positives in your relationship.

  • Marriage coaching is not a lecture.

  • It is not marriage counseling or group therapy.

  • It is not a seminar or conference.

  • It is not a place where you will be forced to share your deepest secrets

  • Quite simply, it is a Biblically-based marriage maintenance model that can revolutionize your relationship through private conversation with each other. 

​​

​

WHO CAN ATTEND?

Any married couple may attend. 

​

​

WHO WILL WE BE WITH?

  • You and your spouse will be in a group with other couples who also want their marriage to grow. 

  • Couples, plus a trained facilitator couple, will walk through the day’s material together.

  • Spouses will have personal time together throughout the day to privately discuss the topics addressed.

  • Groups will have mixed ages.

  • Newly marrieds as well as couples who have been married for decades will be involved.

  • Remember, Grace Marriage is about spending time with your spouse, not about being with close friends.

  • Although you will get to know others in your group better, the purpose is to spend time with your husband/wife and focus on your marriage.

​​

WHERE AND WHEN?

Each session is held on a First Saturday of the month so that Couples can incorporate the sacraments into their day.  We offer Adoration, Confession, Mass and an Anointing every first Saturday. Though not required, couples are encouraged to participate on their own or as a family to start their day.  Light breakfast and Lunch are provided.  

​

WHAT DOES IT COST?

What does a normal date night cost if you go out to eat and see a movie, or if you go to a ballgame or concert? $75? $100? More?

 

The cost for Grace Marriage is $200.00.  Due to a private donor, St. Mary's is offering the four retreats and materials, plus meals and childcare for $100.00 to the first 10 couples that sign up.  That's about 28 cents a day to invest in your marriage!   We encourage you to consider your participation fee as an investment in your marriage. What a great Christmas, birthday, or anniversary gift!
