WITH PAUL AND GRETCHEN GEORGE
[ENGAGED] is a one-day virtual retreat that seeks to prepare engaged couples for the Sacrament of Matrimony and every day after. Paul and Gretchen George present engaging sessions throughout the day, using humor and parts of their own story to present the importance of properly preparing for marriage. The talks will incorporate the following themes: family of origin, marriage expectations, communication, sexuality, finances, and shared spirituality. It will focus on the importance of discerning and preparing for a life-long companionship. When couples begin the hard work during an engagement, marriages start off with a firmer foundation and an understanding of how God intended marriage to be. This retreat seeks to explore how God desires us to live out our marriage vocation.
