"Built to Last: God's Blueprint for Marriage"
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." - Matthew 7:24-25
Theme: Every strong marriage is built, not stumbled into. This retreat focuses on God’s design for a durable marriage — built on the foundation of Christ, intentional rhythms, and long-term vision.

They have two adult sons: Barrett, 34, who has Down syndrome, and Nick, 32, who is married to their lovely daughter-in-law, Christina.
